FROM THE EDITOR...
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the topic has turned to how King Charles will fare as monarch in the coming years, the nation already having a good idea of his general views. He will of course be required to curb some of his more outspoken tendencies, such as when he alienated architects in the 1980s by attacking examples of modern design.
Poundbury in Dorset is Charles’ big statement when it comes to ‘authenticity’ in building design, but the results have been highly controversial. Some saw the new town as a valiant attempt at creating beautiful homes and other buildings using traditional principles and crafts, others see it as an embarrassing pastiche of former designs, and a place that feels imposed on the landscape.
The design of buildings (or at least that of modern buildings) seems to raise people’s hackles more than most other issues. But Poundbury has been controversial because of its adherence to tradition. King Charles may be better off sticking to his very laudable pronouncements on green issues in future, given what will be a feverish push towards net zero. For example, he might want to highlight his and Camilla’s fairly modest holiday home in Llandovery, Camarthenshire, with its biomass boiler and rainwater harvesting.
