INBOX THE SOUND OFTHE SUBURBS

摘要

I read with interest former RIBA president Maxwell Hutchinson's Wonders & Blunders (4 June, page 24).rnI agree that Farringdon Road is a total disaster as far as architectural niceties are concerned, but I must point out that all of these hideous designs were probably the work of members of the RIBA. Are we not having even worse design rubbish foisted upon us by members of the RIBA as we speak? Who, after all, comes up with the hideous designs and detailing for cladding panels, plain or coloured, plastic, glass or tin? We must ask how long these materials are going to last.
