The other stayed on, by laughing off his name ‘Chink’ for the next two years. 34 The subject gained this prize at the end of the second year, without understanding why. Flexel was, at that time, a ceiling heating product and she assumed that the award of the Flexel prize was therefore associated with good performance in a technical area. She was sure she did not have technical ability—the main focus of the school— because this was made repeatedly clear to her in reviews. Motto: ‘lf you cannot detail it, don’t design it’35 The subject graduated with the highest award of the school, named after a (Caucasian) architect and planner.

Maybe it was the aggression in the air—I still remember those eyes—which meant I could not face further public humiliation. Maybe also I could feel more politically correct in my silent association. Maybe I had nagging doubts about my pens which always splodged. I snuck off guilty at not having defended my vocation and missed the raffle. This essay is my response. It is a response that suggests that the issues at stake are more complex than suggested by the simple dualism that structures much discussion of community architecture, including that at the Labour party meeting.

My argument is that the oppositional genesis of community architecture results in its marginalisation, and with it an associated political disempowerment. Before positing an alternative way out of this dilemma, I wish to examine some of the premises for community architecture and the way that these may paradoxically result in an environment divested of the strength which it is set up to have. I concentrate on a period, the 1980s, and a place, the United Kingdom, because this context gave rise to a view of community architecture which manifested in an exaggerated way some of the traits of the movement set in other times and places; it provides a model against which to test the wider claims of community architecture.
