Routemaster – Why I love the new bus design

19May10

There is, I believe, a very fine line in judging design. Go too far in one direction and you risk sounding like Brian Sewell (learn to speak like Brian Sewell: Here)

Wander too far in the other direction and, in a near perfect circle, you start to sound like Brian Badondi – Bau.

But the sight of the new Routemaster really has sparked interest. It simply looks right. In form, proportion, style and function. It’s a modern take on a design classic, without being slavishly reverential to the original; nor different for the sake of the new.

Perhaps we have cause for hope? Bau.
