I own nothing. I am not associated with the Duchy of Cornwall or Poundbury. Visit Duchy of Cornwall's website on: http://www.duchyofcornwall.org/poundbury/1.html It would be wise to start using classic styles again, we need to get over our post-WWII fear of classic and ornate things. modern architecture quickly becomes ugly to the general public after its newness wares off, then it just becomes an eyesore (except a few structures). The public has never fallen in love with modern architecture like they were 'supposed' to. The same with much modern art. "Have you ever looked at a bizarre building design and wondered, "What were the architects thinking?" Have you looked at a supposedly "ecological" industrial-looking building, and questioned how it could be truly ecological? Or have you simply felt frustrated by a building that made you uncomfortable, or felt anger when a beautiful old building was razed and replaced with a contemporary eyesore? You might be forgiven for thinking "these architects must be blind!" New research shows that in a real sense, you might actually be right." - Quinlan Terry

1. Wow, they even used actual Bricks, amazing! Did't know they "still make 'em like thez used to" (at least in some places).
2. Dreadful, overdramatic music, more like Lord of the Rings. A simple guitar or piano would have been much more appropriate, thank you.
3. If only there was more of this in our towns, villages and cities. Smart, elegant, human. This country has been ruined by egotistical planners for far too long.
4. Not a fan of the brick houses but the stone and render ones are beautiful
5. Awesome. It can be done right.
6. What a depressing and uninspiring place to live
