A good friend remarked as we passed by on the 25 bus, "What has happened to the London Skyline? It looks like someone has tipped out the shapes from a a toddlers posting box and stood them on end as buildings...." . It is hard to disagree.
On further talk , my artist friend made a telling point, "Trouble with Architects they think art is about shape. To artists it is the relationships, particularly of shape to space, but also the wider relationships that count".
Anyroad-up. The result of this speculative waste of money is that London will be bequeathed a series of landmarks to navigate by as effective as rock formations "the Bridestone" "Old Mother Baking Bread" and "the Pepper Pot" in Derbyshire.
