Repairs begin on TVCC
After a fire in February 2009 and subsequent structural and safety assessments, repairs have begun on OMA's Television Cultural Centre in Beijing. The Beijing Urban Construction Group is restoring the building according to OMA's original design. Adjacent to the China Central Television headquarters (also designed by OMA), TVCC will include a hotel, theatre, exhibition and conference space.
Is it actually possible to ask a very broad question directly?

if architecture was a fortress like in the dark ages, (when monks were the only ones saving books of knowledge for posterity) we would be those monks inside there, except that we are under siege surrounded on all sides, we are dropping off like flies one by one.

i suspect Architecture treats its practitioners like Bernie Madoff treated his investors. Its good for some while others are loosing their shirts.
Re: Madoff paradigm
But are the fortunate architects benefitting via the unfortunate architects losing their shirts?
