Comments on: Venice Architecture Biennale "cannot get any worse" - Wolf D. Prix http://www.dezeen.com/2012/08/30/venice-architecture-biennale-is-exhausting-bleak-and-boring-says-wolf-d-prix/ architecture and design magazine Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Bruke http://www.dezeen.com/2012/08/30/venice-architecture-biennale-is-exhausting-bleak-and-boring-says-wolf-d-prix/comment-page-1/#comment-1037102 Bruke Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:23:00 +0000 http://admin.dezeen.com/?p=241239#comment-1037102 This article draws attention to the phenomena that is happening in architecture, which is rather like what usually happens in capitalist societies: the rich get richer the poor get poorer. In other words those who have a celebrity status get more and more removed from reality therefore become meaningless, and those who don't are pushed to be told what to do by "society" as if they were a bunch of brainless chickens. What's the way out?

Their architectural/engineering bravado is not dealing with any of the problems the architectural establishment is facing today. Rather, his designs, seemingly anachronistic, reinforce the very notions that have brought us to the rise of the star architect. “I think Mr. Prix is right but by looking at his buildings I really don’t think that he is dealing with any of the problems mentioned.” by LTA

The sooner project managers, lawyers, committees and politicians rest their hands, which are squeezing the free minds, the better. The world deserves better. Agree with Wolf.

Bravo, Wolf. He is completely right and one of the people to say clearly what they think. Bravo, Wolf.
