This building has drawn many admirers - too many says the owner; who has now banned visitors. What does this tell us about attitudes to architecture?

Article Abstract:

The Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB) is refusing to allow the CAB building at Chessington, UK, designed by Gabriele Bramante of Germany, to be entered for an award from the Royal Institute of British Architecture. The building, for which the designer fought hard for finance, and which has already won other prizes, can no longer be viewed, but has to be used, according to the CAB. According to Bramante, the CAB is not appreciative of the building, and is using cut-price blinds and loose furniture, rather than the special accessories designed for it.

The 11-year-old winning her fight for life

Article Abstract:

The Court of Appeal has granted permission for the true identity of the 11-year-old girl suffering from leukaemia who attracted great media attention when she was denied further treatment for her condition by her local health authority. She is Jaymee Bowen, who was first diagnosed as suffering from cancer in 1990. The health authority felt that the extremely expensive treatment was not justified as she had only a 2.5% chance of survival. She received the treatment after help from an anonymous donor, and is now in remission.

'We came for work and education, the sky was clouded. But it got better - and is getting better for all of us.' (Office for National Statistics publishes survey of ethnic minorities in the UK)

Article Abstract:

Unemployment is still high among black, Pakistani and Bangladeshi people in the UK, according to a study of ethnic minorities in the UK published by the Office for National Statistics. However, there are strong variations between different groups, and there are also encouraging signs. More women from ethnic minorities are now learning English and becoming educated, but they are also able to retain links with their own culture.
