Scotland's National Center for Design and Architecture in Danger of Closing Forever

Proof that times are tough all over (in good with Getty or otherwise blessed with Renzo Piano-hiring money), the Times in the UK is reporting that Scotland’s The Lighthouse, the country’s main center of design and architecture, might very well have to close its doors forever if it doesn’t get help from the government to the tune of more than $300,000. After several major blows over the year, from losing funding for its major festival that was to net the foundation millions of dollars for its operation, to then losing a donation because it lost the festival, the Lighthouse has found itself in a tremendous pinch.
