I'm a little surprised by the comments from people who are railing against the Carbuncle Cup. Reflection and self-criticism is important for self-betterment. There are numerous industry prizes that celebrate the best buildings which help inform our designs as architects, and by the same token, the Carbuncle Cup reminds us how where buildings go spectacularly wrong. It also simultaneously works to keep us on our toes to work that bit harder to ensure projects that we put our name to don't end up on the list. There have, and will always be good and bad projects, and we should never shy away from calling it as we see it - that has always been the basis of architectural criticism.
