@ben_derbyshire @CSaumarezSmith In my Royal Academy talk I suggested that Architects should sign a pledge to ‘first do no harm’. This Herzog de Meuron scheme is doing maximum harm.

@ben_derbyshire @CSaumarezSmith I really don’t see how this can be approved
Charles Saumarez Smith retweeted
I am so very disappointed in @HerzogdeMeuron who are usually such good architects. They should drop the Liverpool St job: if the brief is so fundamentally unethical, then don’t take the job. dont ruin one of our best railway stations while simultaneously ruining your reputation

.@CSaumarezSmith has a suspicion that Gavin Stamp will be at least as influential in death as he was in life thecritic.co.uk/issues/may-202…
Charles Saumarez Smith retweeted
@TheCriticMag @CSaumarezSmith Charles mentions that Stamp was "much less predictable in his views than might be expected". Indeed: his mid-life conversion to an appreciation of historic modernism - Seifert included - was a Damascene moment.
Charles Saumarez Smith retweeted
Gavin Stamp will be remembered as a pivotal figure in the move away from modernism, argues @CSaumarezSmith thecritic.co.uk/issues/may-202…
