Opinion
Great Lakes
The Wordsworth Trust Centre may be the only modern building in Cumbria to grace your pages, (Works August 29) but it isn’t unique.
-
Opinion
Planning bypass
The planning process has become so lengthy, complicated and bureaucratic that unscrupulous developers have found an effective method of obtaining planning permissions. They simply ignore the planning system.
-
OpinionTakes the biscuit
Do you have a Pedants’ Corner? The red double-decker bus in the Olympics closing ceremony was not a “trusty Routemaster” (Leader August 29) — if only! It was one of that latter-day variety classifiable as “biscuit tin”.

Model students

-
Opinion
Social contract
Saul Metzstein is spot on about the corrosive effects of the media casually linking postwar architecture and crime (Opinion August 8).
-
Opinion
Poor class
It’s all very well for BD to rave about the “pigeon fanciers’ hangout in Sheffield” (Class of 2008, August 8), but you won’t have to clear up the crap.
-
OpinionMcCloud: No chaos at Hab
I am writing to correct some of the points made in your news article and editorial about Hab Oakus LLP (News August 8).

Opinion
Brains trust
How very sad that architecture’s own Eeyore has encountered construction (“Kevin McCloud’s own ‘grand design’ in chaos”, News August 8).
