Mr Green. The Hayward Gallery, not the Haywood Gallery. You would know this if you had ever visited it. Spend some time there and you will understand why it is special. I do not refer to the space under the decks, which have been claimed, unchallenged, by skateboarders (that is interesting for another reason, but those that have little to do with architecture). I advise spending some time in the lobby of the Queen Elizabeth Hall/Purcell Room as well. Look at documentation of these buildings as they were made, not as they were hopelessly altered. I hope you will be convinced that their restoration is necessary. As for the 'rest of Waterloo', the Grimshaw shed is rather good; the rambling glass roof of the remainder is interesting and quite unusual. A bit too nineteenth-century, I know.
