V and A: Architecture Matters Again

The Victoria & Albert Museum used to care deeply about architecture. Then came 1909, and a rough century… “Now it is all change again. Architecture is back. For a start, the V & A is taking its own building, its primary architectural exhibit, seriously. An intelligent new master plan that works with rather than against the building and should culminate in the restoration of the astonishingly rich South Court, carved up and hidden in an outrageous act of vandalism in 1949.”
