City Hall in London, the brutalist Derby Assembly Rooms and Swindon's Oasis Leisure Centre are among the UK's top 10 buildings under threat according to architectural campaigning charity Twentieth Century Society.
Revealed today by the Twentieth Century Society (C20 Society), the Top 10 Buildings at Risk List for 2021 highlights structures that the charity believes are in danger of either substantial alteration or demolition.
Other buildings at risk include the Bull Yard shopping precinct in Birmingham, the listed Halls of Residence at the University of Hull and the Cressingham Gardens' housing estate in London.
The list, which is released every two years aims to illuminate how numerous buildings of various architectural styles are currently under threat in the UK. "It helps the architectural campaigning charity to demonstrate how severe the threat is to some of the very best examples of the architecture of our period, and ensures that some of its longest and most intractable cases do not fade from view," C20 Society explained.
City Hall among buildings at risk
One of the most significant buildings on the list is London's City Hall, a glass-clad government building on the south bank of the River Thames that Foster + Partners designed as a slanting ovoid.
City Hall has been the home of the Greater London Authority since it opened in 2002, but the C20 Society is concerned for its future as the governing body is set to relocate.
