Bernard Tschumi mentioned somewhere that “An architecture can be consciously negative, it can be intentionally designed to be unpleasant, uncomfortable, to not work.”

When at college a rather irritating, non-design teacher was boring us to death about the design of his house. His sunken living room located in the centre of the house had been his pride, bragging about it for years. Until the year I entered the university when one of his students had the chance to built a doctor’s practice next to this teacher’s house. Obviously premeditated, as he designed the doctor’s waiting area facing the teacher’s living room, thus while waiting patients would look down into the teacher’s living room. Revenge is a dish best served cold…

Silly? Unprofessional? Childish? An architect’s revenge? The question really is who did more damage, the architect or the teacher’s words?
