Re: When Architecture Kills (4.00 / 3)

I feel it is important to get this issue debated. Not least because my guess would be that quite a number of the readers here are politically active and some even in a position to make decisions on projects like this skating rink.

Hell, in hindsight I myself was part of green-lighting one such athletics hall, that I wouldn't want to set foot in in winter now, when I was involved in local politics.

These are actually things some of us can do something about.

I agree (4.00 / 3)

I was once married into the family of a patriarchal post-Aalto international modernist architect. I've been thru endless evenings of these arguments.

The classic statement comes from Frank Lloyd WRIGHT when confronted by extremely rich patrons phoning from their new FLW home after a rainstorm, complaining that water was dripping from their lovely modernist flat roof onto the dining table.
