Architecture Puzzler #345
"Technology cannot be an end in itself but must aim at solving long-term social and ecological problems. This is impossible in a world where short-term profit for the 'haves' is seen as a goal. At the expense of developing more efficient technology for the 'have-nots.'"
What influential Pritzker Prize-winning British architect, noted for high-tech designs, made this statement over 25 years ago?
Hint: This architect partnered with another noted designer from 1971 to 1977. Together they created an important museum in Paris, named for a famous French leader.
