Homeshell does look v good, tho - just stupid to think "90% energy saving doesn't sound impressive enough, let's say zero-carbon" #RARogers
Oh dear, PR blurb re Rogers' Homeshell: "its zero-carbon credentials could mean up to 90% savings"? That's not *zero* carbon then! #RARogers
Rogers' work rainbowifying Madrid airport looked so good it almost made me want to take up flying and go there ;) #RARogers
Interesting finally to see the infamous 90s Rogers plans for Southbank Centre - but definitely prefer the new #FestivalWing plans! #RARogers
#RARogers exhibition very interesting and worth a look, but completely lacking criticism/dissent. So many "unbuilt" designs, no reasons why.
Pretty rubbish that Rogers' London As It Could Be gave over a rail bridge to pedestrians & left road bridges alone. Ahh, the 80s. #RARogers
There's a bit in the #RARogers exhibition about Ken appointing Rogers as architecture advisor, & a transcript of a speech Ken gave about him
Definite hints of @se1's Neo Bankside in this early 90s unbuilt Richard Rogers prototype! #RARogers http://flic.kr/p/fFaL6y
Other #RARogers submitted ideas for London include "NO CARS", "Free public toilets everywhere" and "Make a tiny London Eye for dogs".
At the #RARogers exhibition, there's a wall soliciting "your ideas for London". Well done, whoever wrote this.
Red blobs=recent residential growth - there's us in our new-build flat, somewhere in that Lewisham blob! #RARogers
Interesting #RARogers talk+discussion - glad we got here in time! And different angle from when we last heard Anna speak, at #WideOpenSchool
Someone says in Granary Sq UAL students were told off for unfurling a banner outside own uni! Perceived protest often the limit. #RARogers
Someone speaks up for nice private 'public' space - certainly some can be largely welcoming - he cites Granary Square by King's X. #RARogers
Looks like @RoyalAcademy have also been tweeting from this #RARogers talk - see their feed or the hashtag for more than my few tweets!
Does causality really work in the direction Minton suggests tho: do security measures drive fear of crime, or just result from it? #RARogers
Interesting comparison with Denmark - similar crime levels & other characteristics to UK, but low fear of crime & no OTT security. #RARogers
"The more security you have, the more you need - it's addictive" - Anna Minton describes gated communities containing gated homes! #RARogers
"We started off doing high-security areas like prisons+airports, but now we do schools+playgrounds" - security fence manufacturer #RARogers
Anna Minton's now talking about excessive security measures in private 'public' space at #RARogers exhibition http://flic.kr/p/fEQZUa
