Sadiq Khan’s Housing Design Adviser Brands Traditional Architecture ‘Offensive’

Sadiq Khan’s “Housing Design Advocate” has denounced traditional architecture as “offensive” and said it “harks back to oppression”.

Dinah Bornat made the remarks on social media in response to a post featuring a new house in the Georgian style shared by the Create Streets social enterprise.

“The fortress style/display of wealth resonates through time. I wonder is it starting to resonate just a little too much for a lot of us? Imperialism starting to look, well, offensive? Just a thought,” she declared in a now-deleted Twitter tirade.

She went on to complain that the alleged “replica approach” taken by the building’s designers “stifles cultural debate” and that defining it as beautiful was “politically troubling”.

“If beauty harks back to oppression we are on very dangerous ground,” she suggested.

If she is so terribly unhappy, she could always leave.

I’d rather have beauty and “oppression” than ugliness and “diversity”.

Worthwhile. From 2007 so it’s safe to say he has had his thesis proved.

WTF!

I’ve been a practicing architect for nearly 40 years and I can tell you all, this profession is difficult enough under normal circumstances, What these idiots are suggesting is beyond insane.

Wonder if this nutjob also considers art deco as racist and oppressive, that style after all came from the creative minds of some dead White guys. If so would they call on AOC to issue mea culpas on behalf of her parents. That "Bronx tenement" she bragged about being born in is the Parkchester Apt Complex, kinda like a Trump Towers for the middle class, that was landmarked because of it's prewar art deco architecture.

Like in other countries of non white majorities. Why is it mostly non whites wanting to leave their native countries.
Only the homeless live like that in America but I notice nearly all immigrants want nice homes and property. Funny the folks in office don’t see it.
I read where people who don’t know what gender they are, or have same sex relations would eventually be given over to complete evil. But they know somewhere in their evil hearts it is against God.
