Over the years, I have had my fair share of run-ins with Waldemar Januszczak, as he is the first to acknowledge; but he has done the building project proud in today’s Culture Section of the Sunday Times, seeing and understanding exactly its symbolic value in opening up the art school and creating ‘a moon-shaped auditorium in the Greek fashion, with an exciting Enlightenment mood…If ever a space demanded to be used for the exploration of new ideas, this is it’. He couldn’t have written better about it.

It is a huge achievement and greatly to the credit of you and Christopher.
congratulations, Charles….it is fun to follow the success of the new RA on your blog since I can’t be there.
Waldemar Januszczak is spot on about the New RA, but that’s no surprise. He’s a very good commentator, as anyone who has seen his recent television programmes would agree.
