“Good architecture in Britain today is as much a matter of administration as ability.”
Ian Nairn

“Town designers are responsible for the total life of the town far more surely than doctors are responsible for the individual lives of their patients--for much medical history is act of God, whereas almost all town planning history is, alas, act of man. And compared with this all the professional squabbles, all the statistics, all the traffic flow, all the architectural fads, do not matter a damn.”
Ian Nairn, Nairn's Towns
