"It’s ultimately a monument to civic caution and historical ambivalence. The Schloss represents Berlin today, a capital of pipe dreams, and broke; fashionable but provincial, megalomaniacal yet insecure, a Petri dish for youth culture, stodgy and fearful, steeped in history but brand new. The city sprawls across lively neighborhoods riven by expanses of nowhere."

This project certainly sounds inauthentic, poorly-conceived. and chintzy. When it comes down to it, architects are a bunch of yes-men because their medium is other people's money.
