I agree, Matias. There are some magnificent memorials around the world, to people who have died both heroically and tragically. This is not one of them.

Even if the resident of Clarence House was too stiff to keep his veto off a modern solution, it would have been better to reflect on what Lutyens would have done, than to pursue this cock-eyed idea of the supposed catharsis of some cod Greek revival.

Almost anything would have been better than what has been created here.

Almost. But perhaps it is worth reflecting on the monstrosity that Gehry has cobbled together in Washington DC, as the memorial to Eisenhower.
