Niall Hobhouse to Kathleen York
It does seem a pity you are not entering - it is the non-garden-designers whose approach will probably be most imaginative, or least constrained.
If you are not prepared to enter, then could you please be more specific about why, as a designer, you feel the foa paths are such a ‘disaster’.? My experience over the last six months is that nobody much likes the zig zags, but that they are unable(or unprepared) to say why.
We won’t know until next week whether designers generally have been able to come up with an improvement on them. Up til then I will have had to take them on trust that they can, and will.
