Exactly how big do you think DCM is? How big was Seidler in his heyday? Koolhaas is your saviour eh? How big is his little flock these days? I'm not going to defend DCM - some of their stuff is successful, some isn't, but the crap you've written is the sort of stuff that perpetuates fanboy coffee table books like this one. cheers - own a mirror by chance? nice one Harry…

Architecture of mediocre gubbins with fake identities, whose rationality has dissolved into a trashy urban purgatory which marks the end of the Age of Enlightenment. They fit totally the definition that Koolhaas had of the Australian big corporate firm: "The Enemy: Suits, with mustaches and receding hairlines with suspect waistlines huddled in a collective pose of preemptive servility, architects from a city that was put on the map by a single outrageous building when it was nothing – grown-up preemies of the Bilbao effect – they peddle their soulless wares with shameless calculation – Anglo termites of pragmatism – or tell reassuring fairy tales like the 'Skyscraper as Citizen' as if to four year olds."
