The prizewinning architect Will Alsop has run into trenchant opposition in Liverpool about his most radical creation to date. Ian Herbert from The Independent reports on The Cloud: A 10-storey irregular globe decorated with messages about 800 years of Liverpool history.

some info on this project at the bbc architecture week 2004 website
Its interesting, yesterday I was spammed with emails in opposition to Alsop's fourth grace even though I have nothing to do with Alsop neither with Liverpool.
So I guess that the community groups that are against this project are getting smart and looking to voice their views through all media.
Another thing. At the end of the article, the journalist credits Alsop for the Blinking Eye bridge in Gateshead. That bridge was actually designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects.
And another curious fact is that the article is crediting KEN SHUTTLEWORTH rather than Foster and Partners for the design of the GLA (London's City Hall) building.
