Dezeen Agenda features London's views becoming "increasingly controlled"
The latest edition of our weekly Dezeen Agenda newsletter features an opinion piece arguing private assets are prioritised over public access, following the Tate Modern ruling. Subscribe to Dezeen Agenda now.
The Supreme Court's ruling in the Tate Modern privacy case is part of a depressing trend towards London's views becoming increasingly controlled and commoditised, wrote Helen Barrett in an opinion piece for Dezeen.
Barrett argued that "the message seems to be that private assets are to be fortified at all costs, even at the expense of everyone else." She goes on to suggest that "Londoners have come to see vantage points as their birthright".
This week's newsletter also featured designs for a car lift that will allow vehicle access directly into each apartment of Bentley's Miami Beach 61-storey skyscraper, a prototype textile "watching platform" by Samsung and design studio Form Us With Love and a human composting facility in Seattle.
