We have been asked on the blog an entry ... to clear It was the testimony of an architect during a tour, which again was not in the cited quotations We have responded to this request for two main reasons: First, it is customary that you quotes for interviews - if not included - for Check the appropriate people can be. Second, and this seems to us fundamentally, it is the responsibility of the critic, the object of his criticism not to lose sight of. The subject of architectural criticism is an architectural object, not a polemic against an architect. Such a principle is of course always possible, especially when they make general statements about the role of the architect in society.
In the present case, it by no means so that the issues raised would have been irrelevant. On the contrary, key issues were addressed: the status of the architect in society, the competition in business, public awareness etc. The architect as a public person, especially as teachers of this responsibility should be put conscious. It is the other part but also the task of the critic, carefully between semi-private expression and public notice to consider: Not everything that is formulated polemically in oral way, is one suitable to one for the publication. The names mentioned, the architect has distracted in this case more on the general and important issues, instead focusing attention on it.
