| Held in the International Congress Centre (a hulking late 1970s megastructure which is in danger of becoming fashionable again -- AR June 1980), the UIA is a massive curate's egg with its Byzantine programme of forums, plenums, talks, resolutions, lectures, exhibitions and general architectural carryings on. Like the curate's egg, parts of this are very good: Witness the fine alliteration at the top of the second sentence, the excellent assonance in wheeled and steely. Overall, this is a curate's egg of a collection of essays. |
