Last Monday’s Meeting - London Architecture
Following his recent visit, pp Bryan Haggitt presented an eclectic mix of images of shiny new buildings contrasted with shots taken 50 years ago. Dramatic architectural statements stand in juxtaposition with classic masterpieces.
Pp Leigh Marshall gave an architect’s interpretation of the concepts and purposes that are expressed in modern design – tracing the evolution of thinking demonstrated in radical architectural statements for three selected buildings. Some survive the passage of time better than others – the novel “Inside Out” buildings give rise to high maintenance and refurbishment costs.
