From the Architects' Journal. If that's one of those buildings that are "so hard to reuse" then I'll posit that it's because they're fucking hideous and no-one wants to reuse them.

OK OK, I know what the real reason is - it's because the buildings aren't very good and need lots of work to make them fit for modern purpose. And renovations attract 20% #tax, unlike new builds.

Image from "AJ" (Architects' Journal, whose logo is at the top). It bears the headline "Why is it so hard to reuse buildings in Britain?" and then has a black and white photograph of a 1960s office block with an enormous concrete galero hat outside. The galero is a very wide-brimmed hat with a shallow domed crown, mostly known for being worn by cardinals in the Roman church. Lee van Cleef wore something similar in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, although the crown on his titfer was a bit different.

Underneath the concrete hat thing is what looks like the entrance for the building.
