Gillian Clarke, once National Poet of Wales, reflects on the magnificence of Cardiff’s Civic Centre. Set in nearly 60 acres of parkland in the heart of the Welsh capital, and built in the 1920’s by the firm of Lanchester, Stewart, and Rickards (who went on to design Westminster Central Hall) Cardiff’s Civic Centre is arguably the finest in the British Isles.
Gillian Clarke considers the significance of great public architecture on a city and its people, and reads her poem, ‘Architect’.
