But why should the Edvardian be ruled out? London is packed full of architecture already. Only by rasing much of its present architecture can we find room for commemorating duly the glorious epoch which we have just entered. To this reply there are two rejoinders: let special suburbs be founded for Edvardian buildings; there are no really Edvardian buildings, and there won't be any.
But from the style of the houses he will learn nothing at all. The style might mean anything; and means, therefore, nothing. Original architecture is a lost art in England; and an art that is once lost is never found again. The Edvardian Era cannot be commemorated in its architecture. Erection of new buildings robs us of the past and gives us in exchange nothing of the present.
