Prince Charles and Traditional Versus Modern Architecture

Prince Charles has resumed his long-standing argument with architects and planners, suggesting they were responsible for building unhealthy cities and buildings. "Instead of seeing every building as an opportunity to make an ever more imaginative 'statement', I believe we must see each piece of the built environment as part of a living language, connected to a living tradition," Charles said. "Too many in the professions still regarded cities and towns as simple collections of mechanical parts."
