Adopted text on the work: This video illustrates a Reuters' interview with Norman Foster. The mere retelling of the cynical attitude of the world famous architect poses ethical questions in architecture. Should architects work for dictatorial regimes that best accommodate an architect's longing for monumentality? How is this fact shown in the artistic value of buildings and their later assessment?
