Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice
"If you're seeking his memorial, look around you." OK those are actually the words on the monument to Sir Christopher Wren in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral. But for me at least, they apply equally to the National Theatre building on London's South Bank, which stands as a fitting monument to its architect: a master of brutalism, Sir Denys Lasdun (1914-2001). His name has recently been adopted by a fancy restaurant within the theatre building, to which this sign refers.
