George Clarke Architecture and the Media

It has taken me a while to get my thoughts together on the Geroge Clarke 'Architecture and the Media' debate yesterday afternoon. It had a very different style to the debate between Dean Hawkes and Ted Cullinan.
The format was totally different. George Clarke gave a brief introduction to himself and how he bacme involved in Television. He talked passionately about Architecture and building and his early experiences of both. He also shared his own misgiving about his involvement in these TV shows and his worries about the depict, or lack of in the popular media.
This lead to an interesting, if slightly disjointed discussion of Architecture and the media. In fact, the whole talk would probably have been a bit more insightful if there was a little more focus. However, whilst this was not a heated debate as such, it was a very inclusive and critical discussion.
Mr Clarke really encouraged the audience to be critical of the subject and even of him. I think this and the more relaxed atmosphere of the debate lead to a more successful debate than Mondays event.
