Rob F sent in possibly one of the best ever worsts, which I probably can’t use, but he followed through with this monstrosity from Wangara. Irish dance academy? In a fuck off roller doored tilt-up in Wangara? With poxy Celtic font? Marvellous! One of my most hated types is that awful Celtic/Gaelic rubbish. As bad as Chinese restaurant font. Maybe they should have used that.

The Worst of Perth 
Not many of the literate Irish people that I know/knew, especially those with any knowledge of history, approve of this “Celticisation”.
Just another touristy, faux cultural, invention.
I’ve no complaints about the tilt up concrete, though: It gives a much better surface for ‘after-market’ artistry than endless acres of face brick.

It is a symbolic, non-functioning canopy (or, awning if you prefer). It serves its purpose of providing an unambiguous marker for the entrance, and I doubt if the facade deserves a better design.

Stupid concept, altogether.
Whether or not a building “deserves” this, or that is irrelevant.
The users deserve better, and could have got it for less expense.
Architects’ fanciful and inutile attempts at being “different” by copying some other fuckwit’s
“stylistic” concepts.
Oh! Sorry!
It’s the client’s fault.

Yes, I would tell the “architect” I want a sort of fake undercover area at the front door, so staff fiddling with their keys or customers trying to read the opening hours laminate can still be soaked by rain. Good Day Sir/Madam. I SAID GOOD DAY!

No. They are necessary and pathetic. No one was even looking at this old post. You are the one who brought it back to attention. Shouldn’t you be telling yourself to run along.
