BENEDETTA TAGLIABUE | ICARCH 2024 

it is difficult to worry about using steel for its lack of sustainability and then praise such wilful architecture - because it uses so much more material than it would have done had it undergone close editorial criticism or even self-reflection during the design process. I decided the Scots Parliament was so poor (and again materially wasteful) that Pinos must have been the brains in the Pinos/Miralles practice, so much of it is so unconvincing even just 'graphically'. But its expensive graphics..... p.s. I suspect Gottfried Semper's education in, and knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek was very sound indeed.

very cool

Interesting, thank you
