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.

What London really needs to do is implode the hideous buildings that have been added as a slap in the face to its beautiful old architecture.
Start with the mosque that Khahn had built as City Hall, then take down the Shard.

Bornat wants to invoke Alah into her building designs.
Even if we now know that we do not want to know anything about him.

I look at the gated mansions and estates of the hypocritical leftist elites and I am offended.

That kind of thinking led to the hideous Council Estates....
I swear parts of London still look like Moscow circa 1960s.

Probably longing for the classic Soviet concrete block style. More the traditional British Council Estate.

From her photo, she’s obviously a big fan of Brutalism, or maybe Bauhaus, if I’m being kind.
Both of which, by the way, are white.
