“We see buildings in Britain mostly as freestanding objects. They are not meant to have a dialogue with anything around them, or with history, or with ideas of any kind beyond the self-referential. What we call 'regeneration' is largely an excuse for building for maximum profit with a bit of sculptural design thrown in to catch the eye of the media.” KindIdeasSelfEyeBitsMediaDesignObjectsBuildingProfitExcuseDialogueBritainThrownMaximumRegeneration Author:David Chipperfield
