Façades: old and new


I found myself on Baldwin Street, just beside Old street last week as I was walking towards Shoreditch and I came across a rather wonderful building, a prime example of how modern architecture is pushing the boundaries of interesting facades. It was a shame that it was tucked down a backstreet.


  Walking further down the street, I was surprised to find another building - much older, 1960's perhaps, with a rather intriguingly designed facade.  I began to think that possibly, this would have been considered a fashionable and modern design.  Compare and contrast, they are startlingly different but essentially had the same purpose.


If you look closely, each panel has a mural design
