Architects for Yes 'playing with fire' over referendum

摘要

Two leading Scottish architects have clashed over the country's independence referendum as the RIAS revealed it is examining how architectural registration and education would operate in the country in the event of a Yes victory. Following the recent establishment of the Architects for Yes campaign group, prominent architect and organiser Malcolm Fraser told the AJ last week that independence would help improve the country's built environment and suggested that a Scotland divorced from the rest of the UK would be a more 'caring' country. Now, fellow Edinburgh architect Richard Murphy has responded by accusing Architects for Yes of 'playing with fire' in seeking to influence an issue of immense importance which he said had 'very little to do with the practice of architecture'.
