ARCHITECTS THAT DON´T CARE ABOUT YOU AND US

I can not believed.

The new terminal of Barajas Airport in Madrid gets the RIBA Stirling Prize 2006

Designed by Richard Rogers Partnership, this is one of the most inefficient airports ever constructed.

Beautiful from outside and inside, you are granted to lose connections, get lost and walk marathonic distances.

Great for the ego of the builders, terrible for you and us the poor passengers.

The Guardian has a marvelous piece about these prizes with this great headline:

"The truth about those iconic buildings: the roofs leak, they're dingy and too hot"
