Eclecticism

Almost every building in this picture comes from a different decade from the eighties to the present.  Thirty years has brought a wide variety of planning constraints and material fashions in what is really a new-town development.

Many styles and colours were borrowed from other parts of the world, sometimes in an almost frenetic attempt to keep up with the latest trends with nary a thought to trying to create something original.  Of late however there is a distinct style emerging, modern, white and silver, nothing highly original, but perhaps a new vernacular is emerging - a clearer style.

Time will tell.
