ABSTRACT
For reasons best known to the conveners, a recent architectural conference
was given the title ‘Fellow Travellers’.1 This got us to thinking on the theme of
travel. During the cold war the ‘fellow traveller’ was someone sympathetic to
Communism and its aims; someone who shared with card-carrying comrades
a greater or lesser degree of commitment to the ideology and political ends
of the cause; who journeyed with like-minded companions toward a common,
utopian goal.
