I think buildings need to be more mindful of one important aspect of their
work. That they should be safe homes for creative risk taking, and radical
free speech. Everywhere we look this feels under threat – by the culture
wars dividing our communities, by pro-active pressure groups who are
increasingly litigious, by a fractious social media environment, by
shrinking public subsidy, by cost pressures driving more ‘safe’ and
commercial programming.
