    when architecture is turning against people

    By Oana S.
    Jul 5, '05 6:58 PM EST

    a ”˜famous' local architect makes the building bigger then the site, then sells the project to another architect for 70.000 Euro...
    gypsies transform interbelic houses into kitsch monuments...
    architect student buys her graduation project from a colleague, marries a mayor and brags about takeing all arch decisions in town...
    another graduation project is an enviromental design which includes renzo piano's new caledonia pavillion, takes 7.5 out of 10 (considered undervalued)...
    architecture whores teaching how not to prostitute...
    lecturing from books and using even the jokes from them...
    building ghettos and destroying the vernacular (no remorse)...
    kitsch as a mass culture...
    embarrassing the country and being voted for representing it again and again...
    once again blaming, this time the subculture, while being the alive example that a degree is no guarantee for nothing...
    critisizing corb, mies, rem, zaha, whoever, you name it, but not being able to design anything for real...
    you just have to love architecture and architects!

      Why do I think radiohead could write the music that would accompany this poem? Is this a poem?
