ARCHITECTS COME OUT FOR DOON STREET

摘要

A host of leading architects has come out in support of Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands' (LDS') Doon Street tower for London's South Bank. Richard Rogers, Terry Farrell, Michael Manser, Marks Barfield, Rafael Vifioly, Marco Goldschmeid and Paul Hyett have all written letters to the planning inspectorate backing the scheme, which is currently the subject of a planning inquiry. Lambeth Council gave the tower the thumbs-up last August, but objections from English Heritage (EH) and Westminster Council, particularly over its impact on views from Somerset House, led to it being called in by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears.
