Are we going to have royalty dictating to us modern art? Are we going to have royalty dictating their taste in music? Are we going to have royalty dictating their belief in medicine, modern or not? “No, because they’re not experts in any of those fields, but more important still it’s not constitutional to enter into those areas which are political, where they’re protected and where we’re not protected.
— Richard Rogers, regarding the Chelsea Barracks farragohttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8102158.stm

“White Fungus was the edge-city. Semi-regulated, semi-prosperous, auto mobilized expanses of commercial European real-estate. Mostly white brick, hence the name. White Fungus had paved the region, while city planners were bored, or distracted, or bought-off.

We were natives of White Fungus. After eight years in school, I understood architecture, but White Fungus was what I knew. “

Bruce Sterling, White Fungus.
