A spacious and fast train managed by @SNCF and @DB_Bahn from Paris to Munich. Borderless traveling. #Europe is wonderful.

Tokyo’s Nakagin Capsule Tower apartment, a must-see destination for architecture fans, could be saved from demolition by a new potential investor. As a surviving icon of Japan’s Metabolism movement of the 1970’s, many are rooting for its preservation.

@elli_thomas @designcouncil @E17Wetlands I loved all the concrete!

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

Oh no, the water feature is too wet...

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

Blackfriars Circus water wall @BarrattHomes - a decorative feature or a climate change adaptation measure for temperature attenuation? Or an afterthought?

The City Cluster looked fantastic in the golden summer evening glow yesterday!

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

@owenhatherley U-Bahn Köln-Bonn for the brightest colour scheme!

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

@HistoricEngland Always nice to see the old CABE HQ - brilliant building, brilliant organisation!

@hughpearman My excursion with the Faculty of Architecture of @KITKarlsruhe to London in 1997 took us to St Paul's Cathedral and the Camden Sainsburys!

@LucieCarayon I must confess that I liked the old Les Halles (I remember them from my first trip to Paris in 1983)...but I am very partial to 1970s architecture anyway.

@SAVEBrit @thevicsoc Huge thanks to Thomas B, Marcus Binney CBE and all @SAVEBrit who made a vital contribution to this result

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

@LucieCarayon It's a particularly nice view of London too...

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

Nice to see old friends...the logo was replaced in the early 1990s. #deutschebahn

[Thomas Bender @thobender]

@Grindrod Yes - it's too frustrating that the amazing special character of Croydon has not been grasped. Refurb + new = a cool mix that would attract people rather than boring everywhere place-making that replaces it.
