According to BD online (Building Design) website, architects firm Snohetta (architects of Turner) have accused Kent Council of poor procurement methods and faulty project management in relation to the cancellation of the previous Turner Contemporary gallery.
They are further suggesting that by going to court, even more public money will be wasted, now of course they would say that wouldn't they but I for one tend to agree with them. Had Kent Council asked a few Margate residents with even a passing interest in the sea, they might just have realized how hostile, the Harbour arm was, and since the design was outside the main criteria, by being located 10 or 20 metres out to sea their choice just seems to be plain crazy.
I believe if those in charge at Kent had an ounce of sense, they would quietly let this matter die, since the more you delve into it, the more preposterous Kent's position is.
It's that or admit they got something wrong...
ReplyDeleteGood bit of film Tony, over here in Ramsgate they are chipping the top of the concrete sea defence and laying loose slabs on loose sand on it, below the level where the sea washed away lumps of granite weighing several tons a few yards away.
