irene1000, I live in housing designed for the masses designed by a well-respected architect and it is rubbish. Not really to do with the architecture but the value engineering and poor quality of construction (the developer also went bust).

These minister sounds like a populist fool, long term well thought out strategies are needed from government not publicity grabbing stunts. It is about time that architects stood up and stopped these ill-informed people talking tripe, let’s get the RIBA to promote architecture by raising awareness of architects and also by highlighting where the failings are, we all know it comes down to the industry wanting to churn out the cheapest dross they can get away with. This is why the public needs our help to understand what they should be being offered in the way of housing standards.
