“Britain runs a massive national trade surplus in architecture. Our architects can be proud of the European symbols they have created – the Pompidou Centre by Richard Rogers, the Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and the Reichstag dome, both by Norman Foster, the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart by James Stirling and the new Berlin embassy by his former partner Michael Wilford. But the corollary has been a creativity deficit here which is only now beginning to be cut.” – The Independent (UK)
