Money doesn't give you taste. Neither does architectural talent. (Architectural talent, without taste, gives you "let's see what's the craziest thing I can build that won't fall down". The talent is shown by the building not falling down.)

Zara Hadid proved that point brilliantly with the new Antwerp fire station -- a €55 million monstrosity. The sad part is that the taxpayers got to foot the bill.

55 million euros for a fire station? I'd fire the architect for the cost alone, never mind what it looks like.
