A discussion
Whose taste should decide the look of the buildings we put up? At present our elected representatives, with or without expert advice, have power to control the siting and appearance of almost every new building, from sky-scraper to garden shed. Can a democratic, or a bureaucratic, system foster beauty—or will it, in trying to restrain ugliness, encourage mediocrity and crush imagination? Should we all be free to build what we please? Should architects be free?
These questions are discussed by: An enquirer, Marghanita Laski
