Yay! An Architectural movement. Excuse my indelicate rant about Delphin Lend Lease's proposed monstrosity, but it is sooooo infuriating to see the lack of imagination rampant upon the landscape in this country. I wrote of my complaint re 'Lockerbie' (Lockerbie disaster mark 2) in the 2050 forum with the hope that others there, if they haven't already done so , will run with it as is the want of youth and vigour. I am old at 42 it seems but I am more than happy to endorse new youth (maximum of 35 years old please, according to the 2050 website) in thier efforts to create a sustainable future out of building stock.
I am first and foremost an artist and my age and denomination have nothing to do with the concern I hold for future generations. I hereby swear, again, that I will do my utmost towards the creation of a brighter realistic sustainable future for my childrens children. My teenage daughter swears the same thing. She want to work towards that in the fields of medicine. I want to do it the fields of architecture, design and the built enviroment. That which is created with the human hand guided by my concern for my fellows here and now and yet to come.
My best wishes to the brave and felicitious youth of 2050. May your conference be well attended and effective in the halls of power.
Howdy, Stranger!
