“... a jostling scrum of office buildings so mediocre that the only way you ever remember them is by the frustration they induce …” (Then) Prince Charles.

And from R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)
Famous American architect, writer, designer, inventor and philosopher:
“Our beds are empty two-thirds of the time. Our living rooms are empty seven-eighths of the time. Our office buildings are empty one-half of the time. It's time we gave this some thought.”
Ah, yes. Fabulous quotes. I have often heard King Charles talk about architecture, which is a passion of his along with nature and preserving old disappearing skills such as blacksmiths. He makes so much sense to me. The Fuller quote too is a good one. Sometimes I stand on the pavement and look at the concrete jungle around me and wonder how on earth we thought this was a good plan.
Thanks again for commenting.
To me anyway I’m sure we could use our resources better.
I hope this isn’t your view now.
