Dermot Bannon

Why is your view of architecture better then his view? It's subjective so you claiming he hasn't a clue makes you equally as arrogant as he is. 

Where did I say he hasn't a clue?

I said his taste is crap.  You dont need to be qualified in architecture to be allowed say that despite what that bellend Fingers says.  Its  the public who decide if its nice or not, not pretentious architects who think they are abstract artists. How can someone be ''qualified'' in deciding what is beautiful?

Its ordinary ''unqualified'' people who have money that give these architects instructions on what they want and have to live with the design. Thaey are the boss.  Not the architect.  The architect has some poetic licence to work with but they are merely employees. So such and such a couple pay Bannon to design them something that THEY like where as Bannon comes back with his own ideas and tells them no this is what you should like.  They say no and he still tries to bully them into his designs and taste in decor when they don't want it and are paying for it. 

Eh

Think you are defeating your own claim there.

I am certainly within my rights to criticise his perception of what beautiful buildings look like. 

That's a totally different matter to saying he doesn't know how to design houses.

I've never seen shipping container like architecture in any other country bar EIRE
