Found this about the architect...
Piers Gough, whose enthusiasm for uncompromising modern architecture and outspoken views are renowned, believes that “to build new ‘old’ is the most spiritually destructive thing we can do”. Gough’s idea of good architecture is typified by the controversial and futuristic plans for Hove’s seafront by Frank Gehry, which he is helping to bring to fruition.
Most of his work so far has sprung up in cities, but that could soon change. As the recently appointed Design Champion for Kent County Council, his ideas could soon shape the future of the Garden of England. Meanwhile his latest scheme is taking root on the other side of the country. There is nothing at all traditional about Gough’s plans for the Yorkshire Entertainment Sensation (optimistically called the YES project), which looks like a mass of giant coloured tubes coiled in a field.
Any comments?
