David Chipperfield on Understated Architecture

Chipperfield talking about his office building for the HafenCity in Hamburg. 

Chipperfield says, "It has to be a more normal building of the city. It's not meant to be a spectacular building, I'm nervous that there is a fashion of making every piece of architecture be a spectacle. In my opinion this is a little bit like eating too much rich food. You need some parts of your mean which are more normal."
