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.
