I think almost everyone has read here article. Grabbing headline : Architecture is shit!
Well no shit! You don't care, you pay peanuts, employ monkeys that don't give two fucks and you get monkey shit buildings. You can kinda see what he's getting at. Now, I know that he's considered one of the worlds worst living architects as well as one of the best, but no one can accuse him at anytime of not being passionate about his industry.
'Let me tell you one thing. In this world we are living in, 98 percent of everything that is built and designed today is pure shit. There's no sense of design, no respect for humanity or for anything else. They are damn buildings and that's it. Once in a while, however, there's a small group of people who does something special. Very few. But good god, leave us alone! We are dedicated to our work. I don't ask for work. I don't have a publicist. I'm not waiting for anyone to call me. I work with clients who respect the art of architecture. Therefore, please don't ask questions as stupid as that one.'
