Letter: Plans in the pink

Sir: Apropos of 'Action] It's the South Bank show' (Architecture, 2 February), why don't they simply paint the South Bank? Pink and blue, like the Super Speciality Surgical Institute in India. Or cream and grey, rose pink, pistachio green and rape yellow, like the Malecon in Havana?

That way, you could see the line - which is fine - and not be distracted by the concrete which is, mostly, lowering to the spirit and an invitation to defacement and itinerant urinators.

Yours faithfully,
