Ian Martin. From Cannes to Tamworth, via karaoke seminars and 'hypecrete'

摘要

The property world gathered last week in Cannes for MUPIT, the annual celebration of decaffeinated architecture, environmental profiteering and shagging. It's like a huge car boot sale without the bargains, or the freedom to smoke, or ordinary people, or anything interesting at all. The visitors are there chiefly because everyone else is. It's a magnet for the sort of shark-cyed tosser who has 'property professional' on his business card and a photograph of his car as a screensaver.
