On First Hearing about Hermeneutics
Hermeneutics is a very old methodor discipline. Only recently, however, has it become a great worry to me, as some of my critics, as well as friends, have begun to attribute my interest in it, my penchant for it, or whatever skill I may have acquired through it, to the instructions which I received from my academic elders and betters.

The Festival of Britain, the South Bank Exhibition in particular, marked the final victory of the 'Modem Movement' within the architectural profession; a change which seemed both popular and officially acceptable.The Festival Exhibition did not contain any one building which could be called great architecture; there was little, by European standards, that was even very…
