Because it makes people go 'wow'? Excellent architecture, among other things, responds to the requirements of the brief. One would hope one of the key requirements of the brief was to house the animals in a humane way. I would suggest that a primary way of doing this would have been to have as little 'architecture' as possible. Many people wouldn't choose to live in a building like this. I suspect even fewer animals would. The same goes for Lord Foster's zoo design. Exactly *how * is this excellent architecture? Because it makes people go ‘wow’?

I have no idea whether or not the column has been translated into English. Worth reading, though... Arkkitehtiuutiset is published by SAFA (www.safa.fi) and you can ask more abiut the content of the column from the pr person Ms. Päivi Virtanen - in case you are interested.
