Letter: Sculpture meets architecture at Stansted, Chartres and Broadgate
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In trying to picture a home for Peter Dormer ('Lipstick on the face of a gorilla', 9 September), I visualise the following:
Cold, sterile beams of artificial sunlight angled with the accuracy of Pythagoras, fall from the functional skylight on to the geometric chromium units which hide the necessary but abhorrent clutter of everyday life.
These personal objects constantly threaten to break out into a terrible kind of colourful and joyful anarchy, infusing the drab surroundings with their vibrant gyrations.
There is no art here; the inhabitant is visually fallow, yet better trained than any artist with their delinquent education and unique originality. No, he cuts through the detritus of speculative imagery and has honed his pictorial stimulation to bold intellectual statements; black, white and grey, square, bleak and flat]
This house is 'Architecture with spots on', but what is the disease and who are the carriers?
