Mm Links April 2013 Week 2

[Strix]

Oh dear,

I seem, last weekend, to have left you somewhat in the dark as to what my links might be. I will try to be less abstruse this time.

As I said a week ago, I am an architect.

I was lucky enough for my first job, in the late 60’, to work with an architect who, at the time was a famous stage designer, and who had been trained by Frank Lloyd Wright. Later in the early 70s I worked for the architect who, a little after I left his employ, designed the reconstructed Globe theatre in London.

At much the same time, in the 70s, I was closely involved with the career of one of my university friends who went on to be, and still is, a successful pop singer.

They were exciting times with much change and innovation.

Buildings are now mainly designed on computers (although I, personally, still prefer the old hand-drawn method) however, despite the improved technology, there seems, sadly, little improvement in the design quality of the buildings (I hesitate to call any of it ‘architecture’).

Music too, having metamorphosed from vinyl, through cassette tape then CD and now MP3, has, in itself, also changed very little. On Radios 1 and 2 you will hear music from 50 years ago still being broadcast; the idea that in 1967 we would have listened to music from 1917 is unimaginable!

Anyhow I wish you BETTER LUCK with the links this week.
