This week Astragal discovered surprising proof that subliminal advertising works, after becoming a prisoner to unfathomable urges. Casting an eye over Bond Bryan's recently approved Oaklands College in St Albans {pictured below), Astragal felt an unstoppable compulsion to contact the practice. Was the outline of a stylised letter 'B' emerging from the car park in front of the college - a design not dissimilar to the Sheffield firm's logo - a deliberate piece of self-promotion? The firm's response was a definitive 'No'. As if things weren't bad enough for Will Alsop's controversial The Public building in West Bromwich. His new work has had a bit of a mauling in the press and, to make things worse, the blooming digi-whatsit is now having technical difficulties. Astragal understands that the flashy new building's interactive digital exhibition, Public Gallery, is to remain closed until September due to a hitch with the installation of the network. Whatever that means.
