A friend adverted me the following TIMES article (grazie mille a Vicenza! :-)):

Build me a pyramid: Daniel Libeskind and the oligarchitects

Western architects make a killing building monuments for regimes that you wouldn’t want to bring home to meet the folks (February 27, 2008)

It’s an ironic, but still precise statement about what the author calls oligarchitecture – the (not so innocent) relationship between Western architects and one-party systems.

Only Libeskind made “a Spielberg” and protested against buidling in totalitarian countries – but read on yourselves!
