"Schumacher may not have expressed himself perfectly, but his ideas are worth consideration"
Was Dezeen columnist Phineas Harper right to tell architects to ignore Patrik Schumacher" Readers have been asking that question in this week's comments update.
Censored: Harper said the architecture industry was wrong to keep providing the Zaha Hadid Architects founder with a platform to share his controversial ideas, as he did at the World Architecture Festival earlier this month. But not everyone agreed.
"Schumacher may not have expressed himself perfectly but, as a highly acclaimed architect of vast experience, his ideas are worth consideration," said JayJay.
"Sneer if you will, but many of us in the profession would take his word over that of an 'architectural politician'."
"Schumacher may not be in possession of the writing abilities of the above author," replied HintOfBrain. "That is beside the point." "He (Schumacher) anyhow surely showed his true colours, that's what lies at the core of the above criticism. In a nutshell, leaving all housing programmes to free-market forces is like removing the barbed wire fence around the flock of sheep and then sending invitations to the neighbourhood speculator wolves to dinner."
However seedhub felt that Patrik deserved to be heard, whether people agree with him or not.
"I fully support Schumacher's right to voice his opinions. I also fully support the right of others to criticise Schumacher's opinions, or to ignore them outright," they said.
