Architects rally against Prince of Wales' criticism
The Prince of Wales has once again thrust himself into the architectural spotlight by adding his voice to opposition for the £1billion Chelsea Barracks scheme designed by Lord Rogers. Demanding that the design for the project, which will provide 552 homes, be scrapped, the Prince has added to a string of influential outbursts in the architectural profession which commenced in 1984. In a speech at Hampton Court he branded plans for a new wing of the National Gallery as a "monstrous carbuncle" and they were promptly dropped.
In February this year the Prince, who set up the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment, commented on the slums of Mumbai saying they "provide a better model for housing a booming urban population in the developing world than Western Architecture".
Following this latest input from Prince Charles, 5 Pritzker prize winners: Jacques Herzog, Lord Foster, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano and Frank Gehry and five others have signed their names in a letter to the UK's Sunday Times. The letter in part reads: “It is essential in a modern democracy that private comments and behind-the-scenes lobbying by the prince should not be used to skew the course of an open and democratic planning process that is currently under way.”
Prince Charles' opposition of the scheme is such that he had an alternative design developed. Both designs can be seen in the main image, Prince Charles' right, Rogers' left.

THE Prince of Wales’s intervention over the design of the former Chelsea Barracks site deserves more reasoned comment. It is essential in a modern democracy that private comments and behind-the-scenes lobbying by the prince should not be used to skew the course of an open and democratic planning process that is under way.
Proposals by Richard Rogers’s practice for the developers Qatari Diar were recently submitted for planning to Westminster city council. The scheme has been adapted and changed in response to comments from Westminster’s planning officers and extensive local consultation. Statutory bodies such as the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment and the Greater London Authority have also been consulted. Westminster’s planning committee will meet and shortly deliver its verdict.
Its members should be left alone to decide whether the Rogers’s scheme is a fitting 21st-century addition to the fabric of London. The developers have chosen carefully in selecting the best architect for the sensitive project. Rogers and his team have played their part in engaging with the democratic process. The prince and his advisers should do the same. The process should be allowed to take its course; otherwise we risk condemning this critical site to years as an urban blight.
If the prince wants to comment on the design of this or any other project, we urge him to do so through the established planning consultation process. Rather than use his privileged position to intervene in one of the most significant residential projects likely to be built in London in the next five years, he should engage in an open and transparent debate.

Developers withdraw barracks plan
Developers of the Chelsea Barracks in west London have withdrawn their planning application.
The firm Qatari Diar had planned to build 552 flats in 17 blocks at the site near the River Thames.
It hopes to put in another planning application after discussions with stakeholders including the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment.
The Prince of Wales recently criticised architect Lord Rogers' design for the former barracks site.
Clarence House said on Friday it had no comment to make on the withdrawal of the application.
In March the prince told representatives of the Qatari royal family that he preferred an alternative classical design for the site by architect Quinlan Terry, describing the current proposal as "unsuitable".
'Building consensus'
Qatari Diar is owned by the Qatari Investment Authority, which is headed by the country's prime minister.
"If he wishes to live in an era which no longer exists then that's up to him but whether everybody else has to live in that era I don't know," Lord Rogers said of Prince Charles.
The Chelsea Barracks site was sold by the Ministry of Defence to Project Blue (Guernsey) Limited (PBGL) for £959 million in January 2008. PBGL is owned by Qatari Diar.
A spokesman for PBGL said: "We will continue our extensive consultation process with all our stakeholders, where our focus will be on building a consensus for one of the most important sites in London.
"We acknowledge however that there are differing views from various other quarters."
He added that he anticipated a "masterplan" would be submitted to Westminster City Council for planning consent by the end of 2009.
Councillor Colin Barrow, Westminster City Council's leader, said: "We have been notified of Qatari Diar's intention to withdraw, which we welcome as it will provide a new opportunity to create a scheme which is more sympathetic to its surroundings and reflects the aspirations of local people."
A spokesman for the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment said it had been invited by Qatari Diar to participate in "a more open process".
He said: "We will work with them to advise on master planning, from our core principle of involving the local community and local stakeholders in the design process."

我的看法：
19 June 2009 在London College of Fashion 辦的Any Questions programme 中，有人提出Prince Charles 干預的這個問題，整個panel (Tessa Jowell, Minister for the Olympics, the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General, Shadow Leader of the House Alan Duncan, Liberal Democrat peer Julia Neuberger, media entrepreneur Kelvin Mackenzie) 的回答都是他們覺得Prince Charles 有言論自由，可是他們也清楚地表達他們自己不喜歡新建築、所以他們贊同Prince Charles 的言論。尤有甚者、當主持人大概問了一下在場觀眾：有哪些人覺得Prince Charles 的行為不適當的時候、只有少數人舉手。
我覺得很可笑：理論上這個節目應該是一個知識份子和政客一起討論問題，大家應該都知道什麼叫做保留一些對專業的尊重，而設在Fashion College 中的討論、雖然可能很多都不是College 裡面的人、可是怎麼有辦法在一樣都是以創作為專業的領域中這麼地不尊重創作專業？
我相信很多人並不喜歡新建築，就像很多人可能對現代舞、對蔡明亮的電影、對現代劇場所想要表達的一知半解，我也同意不是所有學建築的人都認為玻璃帷幕就該用在全世界、作為普世價值、就像大家後來批評International Style 一樣，可是不表示就可以蹂躪專業。尤其是一個能見度很高的人、更不能隨便以自己的主觀感受發表這樣傷人的評論！
Prince Charles 在25年前的評論才在近期道歉，又出了這麼個巨作評論，然後理論上應該要知道尊重專業的panel 卻對這樣的議題以相對來說隨便的態度處理帶過，我真的覺得很差勁！

有點悶
最近都在家裡。一來是五月底（或六月初？）生了病之後就一直沒有完全好，二來是因為就在家裡唸書，所以只有三不五時出門買點菜、透氣一下。
很難清楚地陳述我都在做什麼：三餐不是配plurk、網路新聞，就是看某網頁的線上影片。之前plurk 曾經去follow 某知名部落客，可是發現大部分我都懶得看、只是一直去按mute、就覺得蠢到爆，所以就把follow 移除了。
文獻回顧的事情拖了很久一直沒辦法好好開始寫，之前念的 tectonics and atectonics 還需要複習，而且之前也有一些東西只有大略看過，沒有真的好好細讀、這樣一直沒有辦法好好地提出自己的看法；還有決定要加進來的符號學整個很複雜，先是看初學者的那種書之後、又開始看那些大師的書（總不能只看人家怎麼說他們、不過當然都是翻成英文之後的啦～），還有把符號學拉進建築領域的那幾篇關鍵性的文章，為了怕漏自己太狀況外、只好把那幾篇關鍵文章的作者其他的文章一起看一下，不過那幾個人都很愛發表東西、所以著作一堆：然後大家一直在重複Saussure 和 Peirce 的基本看法、就覺得很累，可是大家都要從那裡開始發展，只好耐著性子看。唉！
喔～還有一件事情：好多人都要畢業了！國中同學在Boston 參加了畢業典禮、在愛丁堡的好多朋友不是回來參加畢業典禮、就是在等（也很認真準備）viva，雖然一直安慰自己念的東西不同、自己有自己的腳步就好，可是開始覺得倦怠、不安和沒信心的感覺又有點無聊地增長了起來（唉～這種時候講出來的話都很無趣阿！請大家包涵！），真希望自己可以再豁達樂觀一些～
這張花的照片拍得很糊：就是用手機亂拍的咩！花開得很大、可是其中一朵裡面的接近桃紅色的花瓣和外面的粉紅色落差很大，好像是染色的一樣！

Tate Modern 的 UBS Openings: The Long Weekend 之 Do It Yourself
這個連結 是Tate Modern 該活動的官方網頁。我個人真的覺得這個展很好玩，只可惜很短、只有四天（呵～我運氣真是不錯阿！）。
下面多半是我看到的、少數幾張是舍妹替我拍的。
as you know, Tate Modern
posters
overview of the event site
西南側：右邊的裝置下面是半圓形切面的原木，所以像是拉寬版的翹翹版（這個兩個人就可以維持四邊不著地了，我們有試過兩個方向都不難平衡）
這是上圖左邊的裝置。這個裝置下面的中央是半球體、所以這個要維持四面都不著地比較難一點（尤其只有兩個人的時候）。
西北側：右邊那個就是把小沙包圍成兩圈、讓木頭大球可以照著軌道滾（這個沒有難度... 大概只有要不照軌道滾才會有難度）
另一個的近照就是這兩張：兩邊還是有堆沙包讓小圓柱體不至於滾出去，直徑大概比成人的身高短一點（這個很好玩～不過一起玩的兩個人如果體重差太多、就很難輪流被轉 XD ）
中間北側是平衡木、南側是鋼索
平衡木
鋼索
後面這些除了東面那道牆非常酷之外、其他就比較普通
我一邊哀嚎爬不上去、還是一邊爬到最高... :D

居酒屋的菜色
老公（又）在重灌之際來到這裡閒晃，然後跟我說這裡怎麼這麼久沒有更新了，我不好意思地說：「喔～那要寫什麼？」
其實三月底回台灣、跑日本到又回到冷冷的愛丁堡，剛過去的五週真的是有很多事情可以說：見了很多朋友（很多還忘記照相）、吃了很多好吃的（從鄉土簡單的家常菜到很宮廷的料理）、也蒐集了不少資料（補拍一些論文案例的室內照、還有新的文獻資料）、當然也去了這次學校補助的重點：研討會。我到底要先告訴大家什麼？
反正民以食為天，那我就先來給大家看離開日本的前一晚學長和學嫂帶我們去吃的居酒屋好了。
這間居酒屋在東京新宿東口附近的二樓，到底叫什麼名字＆怎麼走我當然忘記了（虧我還拿了一個小火柴盒想記得他的店名），不過日文很強的學長和因為跟日本婆婆學作菜而對食材更瞭解的學嫂很厲害地幫我們四個一起點了滿桌的菜：先是一人一杯酒（我喝了梅酒）、然後好幾道差點就吃完忘記拍照的好料之後，我們又點了幾道填飽肚子的澱粉類食物，據說這跟日本人完全不一樣：日本人只會吃幾道菜、可是會一直喝，我們則是一開始各點一杯之後就開始一直吃，當然到最後大家還是都沒有續杯！
除了我們很不重視的酒（不重視到根本沒想到要拍照）之外，第一道上來的是這到生菜：撥著菜葉直接沾醬吃，其實很好吃呢！
第二道是這個烤雞（？）的某個部位，反正也是很好吃阿！有點熱熱油油的、很有下酒的氣氛～（對不起我真的是不太記得，可是老公正忙著他的重灌、沒力氣來幫我辨識這些菜色的照片，所以請大家將就看看，等他有力氣來幫我之後我再來更新稍微清楚一點的菜色描述）
第三個是貌似山蘇的冷盤，本來以為會辣、結果還好。
第四道是炸雞柳，沒有沾醬就很好吃了（所以吃到剩這樣才想到要拍）。
第五道是燒烤串，不過已經被支解成這樣了。當然是很好吃，不過發現要支解燒烤串還是有點難度：可能是因為一些類似烤肉醬的東西讓這些好吃的東西和竹籤黏得很緊。
第六道是生魚片系列，這是我第一次吃生小捲，不過沒有我想像中的怪。
第七道是烤洋芋：稍微沾一下融化奶油的烤洋芋比我想像中的更好吃。
在此之後我們又點了烤飯糰、茶泡烤飯糰和炒麵，其實真的都很美味（天阿！我的詞彙真的很貧乏）。學嫂說她試做過烤飯糰，可是放下去烤都會散掉，我才知道原來這也是不太容易的一道好料，不過烤飯糰外面那一曾有點焦焦硬硬的、裡面卻還是軟軟熱熱的飯，吃起來真是很特別的感覺。
我們坐的位子可以看到廚師們在玻璃後面努力幫大家作燒烤的模樣，看起來燒烤的煙霧真的很重，所以我就覺得廚師們真是很辛苦。可是老公在猜也有可能是燒烤架上面有很強的抽風機是我們看不到的，當然我們也沒辦法求證，不過至少讓我覺得廚師們有機會沒有那麼可憐～

三月中的雜記
謝謝大家在我一直沒寫東西的一個多月還會上來看看＆留言！
最近的我的生活簡單平淡：從一月下旬開始一週去學校五天（不見得完全是weekday、反正就是盡量湊足五天，其他兩天就稍微閒散一下），作息比以前正常很多，不過這幾天開始有點不想再跑學校了，所以可能會再轉換成待在家中做事一段時間吧。從十二月底拖到二月底的東西終於寫一個段落，不過眼看著四月就要到了，進度真的是落後再落後。
烤箱掛點了數個月之後，我們已經很久沒有烤蛋糕了。不過最近發現作早餐三明治的鮪魚玉米填料(filler)真是很簡單：只要1/2的鮪魚、1/4的美乃滋、1/4的玉米粒（我就是用一罐鮪魚罐頭、四大匙美乃滋、半罐小慣的玉米粒）混在一起就幾可亂真了。至於我們很愛吃的培根混雞丁手續可能有點繁複，所以還沒有嘗試自己作過。
延簽的手續終於完成，一月份極度接近簽證過期的期限才湊齊所有資料送出，二月中去Glasgow按完指印之後在三月的頭幾天接到international office的通知、去拿回來我們的資料、護照和外國人居留身份證（我的臉在身份證上面的照片上因為嚴重廣角變形的關係變得一點都不像我），我在英國移民單位的身份正式變成配偶。
四月會回台灣數週，一來是參加研討會、二來就是在蒐集一點資料，不過我一直覺得我還是會很對不起大家、因為不見得「橋」得出時間找大家吃飯。
近來在這邊的朋友們紛紛寫完初稿、繳交口試論文、口試結束，當然是誠心祝福大家、也很開心大佳的努力都看到收穫。反觀自己只能要自己再努力了！
附上二月某天陽光好似燦爛、其實風超大的海邊照片，希望照片可以彌補一下我碎念的無聊（如果也很傷眼：那就只能說對不起了～）。

近來在這邊的朋友們紛紛寫完初稿、繳交口試論文、口試結束，當然是誠心祝福大家、也很開心大佳的努力都看到收穫。反觀自己只能要自己再努力了！
附上二月某天陽光好似燦爛、其實風超大的海邊照片，希望照片可以彌補一下我碎念的無聊（如果也很傷眼：那就只能說對不起了～）。

19日的雪
早上吃完早餐後、雪越飄越大，我們兩個禁不住誘惑、又把還沒生產完的paper放在家裡，走十分鐘到南邊的草地東拍西拍。
葉子上的冰雪
我喜歡這個紅傘
東邊的 Authur Seat 還一度在雲霧中
一起去拍照（他幫我拍的照片看得到我的開心、我幫他拍的果然映證了我的技術差很多）
Authur Seat 重現江湖 & 整個很peaceful
我喜歡這棵樹的樹型
