Constructive criticism: the week in architecture

A mixture of styles and homes of the week ... basement with big plans for his new Kate Moss historic house, you can do your own home of Frank Lloyd Wright with a little help from Lego

is a house of Kate Moss bought in Highgate. A late 17th century, Grade II, listed on London home became the center of media attention - and concern for local this week - because Moss wants to give you celebrity treatment, with a steam bath in the sub basement with a new kitchen (to be added to both existing) and a MI5's-value of CCTV cameras. What I like about the story is that the house is told, repeatedly, that was designed by the poet and visionary William Blake.

Poor Blake rarely had two subset and could never have paid to live here, the house was actually built by a London merchant of the same name. However, another poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is live and die here, and the house was owned by the writer JB Priestley, too. Camden Council says it has received an objection to the plan only metro Moss, despite Maya de Souza, a Green Party councilor for Highgate, has serious concerns about the construction of the basement, which she believes could cause flooding in many other houses in Highgate.

A man who knows all about the conversion of the basement is Jon Hunt, founder of the giant real estate agents Foxtons. It is to spend more than Kate Moss paid for your house to dig a hole four plants in the courtyard of his grade-II listed house build a sports center and a museum for his collection of Ferrari. His more recent development, however, is far above the ground. The plan is a new tower, replacing the Texaco garage on the embankment in London, Albert, to be designed by Rogers Stirk and Harbour. It will be a challenge even for the real estate mogul: five proposals for towers here have been rejected in recent years, the last in 2008, was a 23-storey tower of glass and steel by Brand Architects. Only time will tell if the Tower by Richard Rogers, will increase.
  • Meanwhile, what appears to be a very modest proposal by Bowker Sadler Partnership - the construction of four bedroom homes and two two-bedroom bungalow Cheshire Peaks and Housing Trust in Lower Plains Withington - is causing unease among researchers at the University of Manchester, Jodrell Bank work. The number of houses may seem insignificant, but the problem is location. Jodrell Bank, founded in 1945, remains a thing of ethereal beauty and estimated worldwide research - its magnificent Lovell Telescope, opened in 1957, remains the world's third steerable radio telescope
  • As Professor ST Carrington, head of astronomy and astrophysics, has written to Council Cheshire: "The possibility of electrical interference generated from this development is very worrying." This week, a spokesman for the University of Manchester, said: "The University is fully aware of the need for affordable housing, but also wants to protect Jodrell Bank ... many electronic devices used in homes and also produce radio frequency emissions, intentionally or not, and Jodrell Bank radio telescopes are extremely sensitive to detect extremely low emissions of stars and distant galaxies. "
in Scotland, a modest proposal was so good he could become a model design for a whole region. Konishi Gaffney Architects won the design competition for the regeneration of the Clydeside village of Kilcreggan on the peninsula of Roseneath, 40 miles west of Glasgow, is an attempt to show that by re-imagine their abandoned villages Clydeside waterfront can become not only more attractive to the - priority, but local high places attractive for visitors. So here's to new piers, roads and coastal walks, which aims to make people Clydeside Kilcreggan and other newly proud of themselves.

Finally, here's a house you can do at home. The latest model of the architecture Lego series is a replica of 2.276 parts of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House in Chicago, published on August 27. With interiors and low free-flowing house in 1908 is often cited as one of the first houses very modern. I do not know if a child of five could do it alone, but at least you will not need planning permission or consent of this historic building.
