I have no respect for Chipperfield or the pseudointellectual sycophants that choose to support him! He did a terrible job with the New Museum. The Stüler building used to be one of the wonders of Old Berlin (i.e. before WW2 left it in ruins). But instead of paying homage to the genius of Friedrich August Stüler, Chipperfield chose to bestow posterity with one of these generic reconstructions ("with the splendour of a public toilet") that can be found all around post war Germany ... believe me! ‒ One can only hope that the Stockholmers have the good sense to sack that botcher of an architect, before he destroys their historic inner city with a new Nobel Museum that has neither beauty nor proportion!

Your comment is so true!
You hear the subtle arrogance towards Stühlers work in the words used in the presentation.
Very poor English. How embarrassing! And that spoken by someone who works in a British architectural firm... 🙄
