Poplarist Petition



May I implore you lot to sign Building Design's Petition to Save Robin Hood Gardens, Alison and Peter Smithson's beleaguered East London streets in the sky. It's set of buildings with a rather patchy history, but by a long chalk one of the most peculiar, fascinating and idealistic structures in the area. It's also directly across from Canary Wharf, so the need to resist the parasitic spread of the loft living merchant banking virus is important here, even for those who consider this a mistaken farrago of ferroconcrete and social engineering. Wrong as you would be to think such a thing.
