**Iconic Landmark Buildings,(91).

A working space creation.

Pleasure to view.

 Historically Southampton has its ‘working space’ building-the Civic Centre-not just an office but a variety of facilities for the benefit of its citizens.  Its Clock Tower ( Blog 34 ) an icon which serves us all.   A credit to its Architect – E. Berry Webber & Council Leader Sir Sydney Guy Kimber-years past  before Iconic features were a popular  creation.  The proposed  Spitfire feature -in the Trafalgar Docks’ site (Blog  27) may be attractive but access not easy for people to view.  We need an icon for R.J.Mitchell in the City Centre. The Sea Museum’s Pavilion being added to the Civic Centre  resembles a sinking ‘Titanic’.
