The prima donna architects who hurl abuse at Prince Charles (most recently regarding his Chelsea Barracks intervention) ought to have a very careful read of the excellent articles written by Ike Ijeh in 黑洞社区 (page 12) and Camilla Cavendish in The Times, both published on 2 July
Ms Cavendish wrote that the Richard Rogers鈥� design for Chelsea Barracks was 鈥渓ike a sixties council estate with manicured lawns鈥�. Dead right.
If the lofty architects are not impressed by the obvious intelligence and eloquence of Mr Ijeh and Ms Cavendish, I suggest they take a look at the Wonders & Blunders section in 黑洞社区 (page 20).
On 2 July, Eamonn Holmes chose the classical Stormont parliament as his 鈥渨onder鈥� and the modern Trafford House as his 鈥渂lunder鈥�. Holmes may not have been making an entirely fair comparison but it was one most people would understand and sympathise with. Most people, that is, except certain architects.
