quotes Comedia founder, Charles Landry, asking, “What does Islamic
architecture do well? What does Indian architecture do well, not
forgetting the Italians, Germans and Russians. I’m not trying to be
prescriptive, I’m just suggesting we use our imagination.” The project
has met with widespread, if at times guarded, support. George Ferguson,
president of the Royal Institute of British Architects cautioned, “We
have a long tradition of importing architecture from other cultures -
and of exporting our own… this would be simply advancing that tradition
and a good thing, as long as it respects the sense of place.” |
