- Description
An architect seeks the approval of the urban design panel of an unnamed local authority. He has no answer to the panel's concerns for the environment, heritage, energy efficency, aesthetics, quality of building and other factors. In return he presents his case for the proposal, based on his wealth, legal team, social prominence, lifestyle, pragmatism and 'religion ('philistinism'). The panel, he asserts, has no power 'to make me do anything'. The panel replies by designing a trapdoor to send him hurtling into oblivion. As the panel notes 'Ah! There's nothing like a simple architectural solution...'
The tension between urban design and architects' proposals were accentuated over such matters as the Christchurch Rebuild.
