It's good to have the Carbuncle price, maybe the jury shouldn't just consist of BD staff but of arch journalists across the UK press. Also there should be more categories: Worst architectural icon, worst piece of daily architecture, high-rise building etc. And not only architect but also developer and maybe builder should be named and shamed.

What concerns this year’s winner I would follow Alex Henderson's opinion and not support the choice. I have been inside the venue and know Greenwich quite well. The criticism in the article hits almost more the museum culture than the actual architecture. And this is more to do with the state of our society and the time we live in. It is very hard to animate people nowadays to visit museums. Even those, which make it into the museum, haven't got a big attention span and are quite superficial. The exhibition simply reflects this and tries to come up with a commercially viable concept, while not enough supported by the government at all.
