I am very pleased to hear that "that at last £12.2m is to be spent to
sort out the Barbican's maze of a foyer". Whenever I go there I feel
like I've wondered into a life-sized M C Escher drawing.

Cf. the magnificent Royal Festival Hall, whose ingenious "egg-in-a-box"
construction somehow happily agrees with a perfect clarity of
orientation.  (Shame it's ugly on the outside and situated next to the
even uglier Hayward Gallery.)
