Can we be more productive than castigating an entire profession? It's lazy. I'm all for criticizing specific firms/projects, but you need to be specific. It's this typical star-architect marketing tool.. Oh I'm better than this profession, blah blah blah.

The rich are consumers of space, the masses are just spectators...Consumer implies that they have some form of choice...they don't. The built environment is top down spatial dictatorship...Its always been this way...
The firm I work for is certainly filling the world with trash.
