I am aware that the new Shingle House by Nord to be built in Dungeness replaces an historic timber fisherman's cottage, used as a smokery for a number of years. A great many residents at Dungeness feel that they have been let down by the removal of this historic building. While I am fully in favour of and excited by this living architecture project I feel that more local consultation should have taken place to ensure that the long term residents of this unique corner of England will be supportive. The residents have an additional concern that this new building will attract even more visitors who treat the place as an open air museum and feel free to wander at will over the unfenced gardens and peer through windows. The Living Architecture project should be also about people as well as buildings.
