Modernist architecture - not all bad

Lovely article in the FT at the weekend which I only just got round to reading.  Well written, balanced and perceptive.  A change to see that in the UK press these days when it comes to architecture.  I’m off to look up who Edwin Heathcote is, in the meantime, go read the article:

Of course, much of what was built in the 20th century was rubbish and there is no call to conserve everything. But the drive to purge the landscape of the output of an entire generation of architects is short-sighted. We hear much about the green revolution yet the energy (physical and intellectual) embodied in these buildings is disregarded.
