Blueprint

The Battle of Ideas provides a valuable space for free-ranging discussion, where architects and designers can benefit from the ideas of thinkers and writers from a range of other disciplines. Blueprint is delighted to be media partner for a debate about visionary architecture and we very much hope this will lead to a more receptive climate for ambitious plans and ideas.

Ain’t misbehaving - do British children need the army to sort them out?

"To contribute to Battle of Ideas is to add a few words to a giant, communal speech-bubble out of the gap-toothed mouth of British opinion. It is a strong reminder that the joys of free, uncalculated speech and the right to attack orthodoxies can in no way be assumed in 2012 – that we use them or lose them."
Piers Hellawell, composer; professor of composition, Queen’s University Belfast
