The process  should be allowed to take its course; otherwise we risk condemning this  critical site to years as an urban blight. \u00a0If the prince wants to  comment on the design of this or any other project, we urge him to do so  through the established planning consultation process.\u2019<br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/daily-news\/top-architects-condemn-prince-charles-meddling\/5200676.article\" href=\"http:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/daily-news\/top-architects-condemn-prince-charles-meddling\/5200676.article\">http:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/daily-news\/top-architects-condemn<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/daily-news\/top-architects-condemn-prince-charles-meddling\/5200676.article\" href=\"http:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/daily-news\/top-architects-condemn-prince-charles-meddling\/5200676.article\">-prince-charles-meddling\/5200676.article<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.building.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3138747\" href=\"http:\/\/www.building.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3138747\">http:\/\/www.building.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3138747<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile  Prince Charles will use his RIBA lecture to argue that architects are  \u2018first and foremost place makers and not designers of buildings\u2019.<br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.bdonline.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3140257&amp;origin=BDbreakingnews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bdonline.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3140257&amp;origin=BDbreakingnews\">http:\/\/www.bdonline.co.uk\/story.asp?storycode=3140257&amp;origin=BDbreakingnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 April 2009: A number of the world\u2019s top architects have jointly-condemned the Prince of Wales for using \u2018his privileged position\u2019 to intervene in the design process for the Richard Rogers Chelsea Barracks scheme in London.
