This solipsistic product of the architectural aristocracy, so perfectly represents why architecture is and will remain, nothing more than a nice possession to have for the wealthy. The awarding of a Pritzker Prize to this work, seriously and significantly undermines the standing of that achievement.

Worse than cutting down trees is the pretension to approach indigenous people with such primitive-like kitsch structure and then feel good about yourself being involved. Or is it an original Mapuche construction transported as it is to Venice? A futile gesture.
