The idea of modernising the area around the present King Alfred site in Hove would probably be approved by the city's population.

However, Frank Gehry's Tin Can Towers would not only look out of place but would be an eyesore and not conducive to the comparative order of the Regency style.

The idea that business would be attracted to an area which is supposedly forward-thinking and modern is somewhat spurious.

Business is already conducted in the area.

It would seem the architectural faction is following the lines of the art world - Cubism, Picasso etc - which very few people can decipher or understand.

I wonder if Brighton and Hove City Council leader Ken Bodfish would consider building a house based on Mr Gehry's design?
