Reminds me just how dead in the head are today's architects.
Possessed of a collective numbness of the imagination and joined only by a fear
of doing anything exciting, they might as well have stayed playing with lego
blocks.
Dullards with very very few exception.

Well, Mr. Messy, they also have to build to a price, competitive bidding and
all that...
But you are basically right.

Thanks Nigel. The build to a price thing, this is what puzzles me. If you look
at this station, there's a consistency to the the frames that would lend to mass
reproduction, bringing down the price of manufacture.
I'm not convinced that good architecture has to be more expensive.
I believe its more about not wanting to stand out. I think its a purely
psychological failing of the age.
