I like that. That's quite ingenious! (tape dispenser). I hope the roll though doesn't slide down the post. And what happens if the roll is another diameter or size?

Took that up to the castle a couple of years ago, surprisingly large for as little traffic as there was. I suppose it depends on what events are being held at the castle, though. There are lots of "modernizations" occurring at the castle, not sure that I liked them at all because they were not in keeping with the castle's age at all; but OTOH it was good to see new life being breathed into the castle rather than allowing it to rot into ruin.

Must have been an interesting tram ride, but,sometimes the trend to add the modern to the old works, and sometimes it really doesn't (IMHO)

I think that "the more it's a ruin, the more modern you can be". The Neues Museum refurbishment in Berlin seems to be a good case in point (haven't been there yet myself, but seen photographs).

For me that works,as it adopts the defining lines of the original.

His additions that I've seen pictures of look like cancers eating the older building. This one is more like a collision of alternate universes or a time-transport mistake. You either go for it or not. Apparently enough people like it. This one is not so extremely pointy, better for my tastes than some.
Wine glass: Don't know either but we should try it out fully to judge.
Faucets: is that water going over or inside the glass? If inside, I could see it becoming unsightly with deposits. In some locals you don't want to know what's in your pipes.
Or maybe you should. I like it otherwise. -

Are these new additions really good designs? Because they are beginning to look like those tacky curiosities from catalogues like that 'Innovations' one in the 1980's. And I seem to remember that it was the Innovations catalogue that brought us these;
Those duck-billed platypus taps? And as for that wineglass?!
I wouldn't be seen dead holding that, it looks like it has mumps!!
