Designs revealed - new concert hall for London

Design concepts revealed for the new concert hall for London.   Main auditirium will seat 2000 in a wood-lined performance space. not unliike the Philharmonie de Paris and the Elbphilharmonie. Striking designs ! See more here and here. The bad news is that the £288 million it may cost will have to be raised from private donations.   Since the arts are an important part of the economy, you'd think responsible governemts would chip in ? But no, they happily shell out £14 million for ferries that don't exist but can be ordered like takeout pizza. So why not get funds off venture capitalists who profit by selling the pound short thanks to Brexit ?
