Ah the Tricorn Center, Portsmouth















The architect of the Tricorn Centre was Rodney Gordon. Gordon was strongly influenced by the three architectural giants of the twentieth century: Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright.

This glorious shopping center was demolished in 2003 despite attempts to protect it with listed status.
