View from Ramallah reaction
SIR: I am a Costa Rican architect who was trained in the U.K, I have great respect for England and its democratic and pluralistic society, I have received your magazine for almost 15 years and I am always looking forwards for the next issue, it gives a great view of what is going on architecturally all over the world.
All this was on my mind when I opened the May issue of the magazine and read Tom Kay's article on Ramallah's destruction; I was amaze to find that kind of article in your magazine, the article has nothing to do with architecture; in all the year that I have been reading the Architectural Review I have never seen before opinions about a war zone, civil conflicts etc. I found Kay's writing completely out of place in an architectural magazine. What are you trying to get through???
Yours etc
