    I love such colorful houses ! Nice to look at and - hopefully - nice to live in :-) Will Alsop's Master Plan for Middlehaven Practically gushing at their own daring, the town leaders unveiled an agreement between the Tees Valley Regeneration and BioRegional Quintain, one of the UK's biggest developers. The agreement will apparently bring £200m of investment to Middlesbrough plus 1,000 new jobs; 750 homes designed by top architects, shops, stylish bars, cafés and restaurants and a luxury hotel. This will also - or so we hope - mean that the master plan of the daring architect Will Alsop will start to materialize in the form of some of the crazy "Meet-the Robinsons-esque" new buildings we've seen in the plans. Alsop is the man who has designed, for example, the Palestra Building, the Peckham Library and the Ben Pimlott Building at Goldsmith College - all in London - Hotel du Department des Bouches du Rhone in Marseille, and the Sharp Centre for Design in Toronto. He's known for fun, playful buildings with strong colors, unusual shapes and angles.
