I refer to the centre page spread (May 10) which featured proposals for a building on the Opera House site by architect Giovanni Trevisan on behalf of the Edward De Bono Foundation.

I would like to bring to the attention of readers that the project captioned "An eventual stone embellishment that will be applied to the high-tech structure", as illustrated, is not a Trevisan project but a proposal of mine dating from 2006 for a multi-purpose building on this site. My project (shown above) envisaged the restructuring of the Barry façades with a high-tech glass box placed within the skeletal framework.

I regret to say that I find it unethical that another architect would utilise my design under the pretense that it was his.

I would also like to state that I have no connection with the Trevisan-Edward De Bono Foundation project and remain perplexed as to how a proposal of mine ended up as part of this scheme.
