I certainly feel we have the talent and the desire to design good quality public space in the UK. The strength of elegant and practical solutions can be diluted by an over cautious or inexperienced client. Particularly when it comes to equipping the designers with the tools to adequately analyse the spaces they're designing for. Otherwise the results can risk being frivilous or pastiche. The highly commercial, mechanised design processes adopted by some UK consultancies does not help the cause for better design however.
