SUMMER WHITEWASH

摘要

With summer came the 'silly season' for architecture. Anish Kapoor's Orbit aside (news, page 12), Rowan Atkinson had negative responses from locals to his application to build a Richard Meier home in the Oxfordshire village of Ipsden. Some responded badly to the startlingly modern, blindingly white proposal, but luckily Atkinson's got enthusiastic support from 'Neighbour 10'- Lord Rogers of Riverside, and 'Neighbour 14' - Ricky Burdett, LSE urban studies professor.
