Setting up an e-petition is the beginning of a campaign, and only works if people know its there, which is where the work is. This was poorly managed. There doesn't appear to have been a press release announcing it, as I'm sure BD would have covered it had this been the case. And clearly it was not given the time to build up the head of steam which can happen when e-mails are forwarded etc and folk get to hear about it.
I ran a petition to save John Hejduk's Tower in Berlin from a hideous renovation. It took 2-3 weeks of hard work to get the word out, but we got 4,000 signatures and success. As can be seen from the general tenor of comments on this issue, there is support from architects in the UK, who would sign up if they knew about and were given the time.
