The Thames Path Sketch Journal
“Since its opening in 1976, the Royal National Theatre on London's South Bank has sparked architectural debate. Architectural historian Mark Girouard called it an "aesthetic of broken forms," Even modernists were conflicted—Nikolaus Pevsner, a champion of modern architecture, found its exposed concrete oppressive.”
The Palm House - Kew
“This building still looks contemporary. The light and translucent structure balances its scale and size. It seems natural in the landscape with its soft curves like a bubble about to burst. ”
The Kew Sketch Journal
