Awful, weak-minded, sheep-like decision. Hadid's designs represents architecture that hates people. Nobody feels good in her structures, they're not made for people, they're made against people, they're made for her and nobody else. They dominate, they consume, they alienate and they deter. They're undoubtedly interesting - even great - shapes, but great shapes don't make great buildings. The Stirling Prize should be more than an award for good shapes, it should be about so much more. Disastrous award that represents another nail in the coffin of the perception of architecture as something worthy.
