In this week's comments update, readers are annoyed after architect Bjarke Ingels met with the president of Brazil to work on a tourism masterplan for the country.
Bjarke to the future: readers are angry after Danish architect Bjarke Ingels met with Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro to discuss developing a tourism masterplan for the northeast region of the country.
"Yeah cause a Danish architect knows exactly how to deal with beaches and the social background of our country," said Edson Maruyama. "We have great architects and urbanists here in the country, it should be a shame for a 'nationalist' president to invite him for this discussion."
Jerome Rajah agreed: "I don't agree with the choice to hold discussions with Ingels when there are tens of thousands of Brazilian architects and urban planners who, among other professionals, are qualified to partake in the same conversation. They understand the context of the country, its needs and disparities." "Glad to still see starcitects clamouring to work with corrupt governments," added WYRIWYG. "As long as the fees are high enough."
Kasimir felt similarly: "No morals, no shame."
