Architecture is like music, some like it, some don't. Charles at least tries to find designs that fit in with the surrounding environment. I have to look at the British Library extension from my office window and despite having Kings Cross station behind it, it sticks out like the monstrous carbuncle it is. It may be an award winning design but it was already too small for its purpose before it was finished, it was overtime and over budget, it's a bastard to supervise and it doesn't fulfil its specifications.
