An interview with Richard Rogers moments after his firm Rogers, Stirk, Harbour + Partners won the Stirling Prize for their Maggie's Centre building in London.
If he cares about the quality of life and the physical environment and wants to lift the "spirit of those people" then stop designing buildings that are fit for a machine. He pays lip service to the idea that the built environment and the central quality of life is so entwined and yet he does everything he could to ruin it. He thinks that homogenizing the world to a sterile machine like architecture is going to solve the world's problems. This dude has a lot to learn about humanity.
I think richard roger's has given the public a real education of how to address the client's needs through addressing the architectural problem....good luck to him other than that Maggies is nice but not vibrant enough it function's but strangely inits own weired right
