The sight of people pressing their faces forlornly against the smoked glass to try to see something of the ship is one of the sadder in London.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Grimshaw have also punched a shopping centre-style glass lift up through the middle of the ship \u2013 and put two more lifts in a new square building, the size of a small block of flats, next to and towering over the ship herself. They\u2019ve plonked a glass pod on the open main deck for a staircase (the old housing was wood, but that\u2019s so nineteenth-century). They\u2019ve installed lights on the masts which make it look like a Christmas tree. Above all, of course, they\u2019ve hoicked the ship up on girders, dangling above the dry dock to create an \u201cunparalleled corporate entertaining space\u201d underneath \u2013 an act of vandalism that prompted the resignation of the chief engineer, who said it would place the vessel under unacceptable strain and end in its destruction.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Renovations to the Cutty Stark cost British tax payers\u00a0\u00a350 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Architectural trade journal Building Design has named\u00a0the Cutty Sark to be the worst new building in the UK.
