Ian Martin. Christmas Messages From Some Of My So-called Friends

摘要

As a leading conservactionist, I will be remembering Christmases past, as they were full of buildings that hadn't been pulled down yet. This year my colleagues and I will be re-enacting a traditional Tudor Christmas with goose and rickets. I would urge any architect reading this to pause and think very carefully before designing anything new. Especially if it's on a site currently occupied by built heritage. Remember, a nation is judged on how it treats its old buildings. My favourite architect? That would have to be John Nash, as there's bloody loads of his stuff missing. We must rebuild it now. Watch out for next year's civic regeneration campaign: Add Panache With A Dash Of Nash.
