This is a direct quote from the Fetsival of London Architecture Director, Peter Murray in his own Blueprint Magazine, explaining why they changed the name from Architecture Biennale to Festival.- “outside of art and architecture, people don’t EVEN know how to PRONOUNCE biennale, let alone know WHAT IT MEANS”.

Has anyone heard anything so paternalistic and patronizing from anyone entrusted with so much public money in the last 50 years? He only needs to tell us how we should be civilized next, that through such a festival we can learn how to be civilized?

This ‘event’ at Sommerset House draws a direct spotlight onto unto the peerless waste and indulgence of the people behind and involved in organising this festival. It is clear that it lacks intellectual integrity, value for money and taste. It feels like the last days of the British Empire; aloof, almost entirely unaware of its excesses, the poverty it created and the snowball of resistance and freedom building from the people it thought it was ‘looking after’ and helping.

I have a feeling this will be the last year for the Festival. Such waste, indulgence and paternalism is out of date.

London talking about ecology? carbon footprint? depleting earth resources? raising price of resources? save the trees?
Come on design to help the environment and what is this to help? use the money wisely for goodwill!!!
Don’t use the word design to entertain, theres enough junk in this world!
