8. While it is justifiable to rebuild parts of the lost city fabric for different uses, as with the Nash terraces of Regent's Park, London after wartime bombing, it is clearly misleading to the public memory to build ‘period’ developments that never existed such as Quinlan Terry's Richmond Riverside. For a critique of the latter see Blundell Jones, P., ‘Richmond Riverside: sugaring the pill’ in The Architectural Review, November 1988, pp.86-90.
