Article Abstract:
Frivolity of appearance is beginning to dominate over structural logic, according to architectural firm Studio E founder Cezary Bednarski. He believes that the structures designed by his firm have meaning, rather than just unusual visual features. He feels that architecture has strong links with rhythm, as does poetry, another of his interests. He sometimes finds the architectural climate in the UK rather restricting, and objects to the fact that architects are tightly defined.

Article Abstract:
London, England, is the most attractive big city in the world, according to Rick Mather, who has been appointed architect for the redevelopment of the city's South Bank Centre. He believes that the generic challenges of gallery schemes have influenced his response to the brief for this project. He welcomes the fact that this commission will bring publicity to his practice. He does not regret the fact that the South Bank Centre brief prevents him designing any new buildings he may propose for the site.
