The government will review its decision not to list Robin Hood Gardens in a major boost for BD’s campaign to save the east London housing estate.

Responding to an appeal made by the Twentieth Century Society, the DCMS confirmed that culture secretary Andy Burnham would review architecture minister Margaret Hodge’s verdict on the Smithsons-designed estate, in an admission that “significant new evidence” in favour of listing had been put forward.

In 2006, the Eero Saarinen-designed Bell Telephone Laboratories was in imminent danger of demolition by would-be developer, Preferred Real Estate Investments of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, who planned to replace it with smaller office buildings and housing units on the site’s pastoral 472 acres. Now, two years later, Somerset Development, a Lakewood, New Jersey, firm, has signed a contract with Alcatel-Lucent, the property owner. If redevelopment proceeds as planned, the 1.9-million-square-foot, six-story building, named to Preservation New Jersey’s “10 Most Endangered Historic Sites” list in 2007, and recently declared eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, will be spared the wrecking ball.

In a statement made via email, Somerset president Ralph Zucker wrote that the firm does “not plan on demolishing any of the existing structures,” and is “approaching this with a preservationist attitude.” Somerset is still in the early planning stages, but feels the building lends itself to a mix of uses. Zucker, a proponent of New Urbanism, wrote that his vision is “a downtown-style, mixed-use environment created at [the] building.”

concerning an evolved spoofulation

The point I am making though is that spoof practice has evolved. The basic idea is to make something in extraction, color, concentration and heavily perfumed with familiar/monotone aromatics. Clumsy and expensive practices are one way to get there, but bowing to market pressure, many producers are getting there in a more natural way. This doesn't make the wines any more attractive to people who don't like the old-fashioned spoof.

Conversely, working naturally doesn't automatically make your wine sing. There are so many factors, variables and finally it is what you have in the fields that matters the most.

Or something like that.
