Hi Dave, interesting blog - I am currently constructing some sort of critique about the proposals. My initial response to the proposals are similar to yours, Yinka’s piece would surely be the most visually engaging. Tracy’s work is a little derivative but has a strong humor to it. Gormly’s work would engage London but I suspect health and safety and the threat of our increasingly litigious society will prevail. I don’t know about the Kapoor. I like the economy of the Deller and although old news. We are at war and it does still seem fitting no matter how divisive it may be. I like the ad-hoc ramshackle construction of a self powered solar windmill turning for know other reason than to charge lights proclaiming peace. The french is a more romantic language, less guttural and it kinda throws up the fact that we won the battle of Trafalgar in a ironic sort of way?

Cheers Dave

P.s I know those men. I’ve worked and slept in buildings named after them for sixteen years of my life.
