  Education | Stand-off on the South Bank
In public at least, London's South Bank Centre is putting a brave face on its humiliating inability, six months after it held a high-profile international competition to find an architect to design its new concert hall, to decide which of the two firms it named as joint winners will get the commission.
The South Bank is, however, too important a piece of cultural infrastructure to abandon to its present Eastern European squalor, too vital a chunk of London's heart to condemn to another decade of semi-dereliction.
The South Bank Centre was created in 1988 from a shotgun wedding between the Hayward Gallery, previously run by the Arts Council, and a Royal Festival Hall orphaned by the abolition of the Greater London Council.

 The South Bank: Austin's Next Arts District
It isn't that the folks in South Austin have no love for the performing arts, but their half of the city has simply never enjoyed the sustained development of stages that the northern half has.
After settling on the South Austin landmark as their ideal venue, GAPAC changed it name to ARTS* Center Stage -- the first word being an acronym for Austin Revitalizes the Shores -- and began lobbying the city for the opportunity to make it happen.
It would be the city's -- and certainly South Austin's -- first bona fide performing arts center; the heart of its dance, theatre, classical music, and opera communities; the kind of cultural district that you'd find in more metropolitan, cosmopolitan cities, like the South Bank (hey, there's a name!) in London.

The South Bank is advertising for an artistic director, a person who will take charge of programming in three concert halls, appoint a new curator for the collectionless Hayward Gallery and generally take command of the site’s sprawling activities which, for a ragbag of incoherent historic reasons, range from poetry to skate-wear design.

All the South Bank has managed to build is a stairway linking the bridge to its forecourt.
Better men have sunk into the South Bank swamp, among them the former heads of GEC, the Prudential and Chelsfield - clever businessmen who frittered millions of public pounds on brilliant redesigns by Lords Farrell and Rogers, plans that now gather dust in an Arts Council archive.
