This is truly disgraceful. No wonder the architectural profession is in the crap, when we are rewarding people like Chipperfield and Hadid for such complete disregard for local context. Barcelona is one of the most beautiful, diverse and vibrant city's in the world and look what Chipperfield has done to it! What an example for aspiring students to look up too!
