building regs…………………..!!!

whats the story with our paranoia in this country?

our buildings are not being allowed to breathe, suffocated by handrails of specified height not allowing a ball(of childs head size) to pass through.

i fear that our authorities feel we are much less able to cope with the built environment than our contemporaries.(anywhere truly “european”)

the atmosphere is so restrictive that many of our best designers are forced to leave, while the rest of us feel like a trip to confession because we felt like having an unguarded stair like the one in the AR you were reading in the bog at lunchtime.(purely an imagined scenario!)

but this situation is serious
