David Chipperfleld has hit out at UK-run architecture competitions and urged the RIBA to do more to police them. His criticism came during a discussion about museum design at the Royal Academy of the Arts during a London Design Festival event on Saturday (19 September). He said: 'We don't know how to run competitions over here. The RIBA has been weak and pathetic in loosening protection. Architecture competitions should be monitored by the RIBA -but they aren't.' He also hit out atthe UK's market-led culture and its effect on architecture. He said:'In Englandthere isn'ta healthy culture of architectural patronage. We are market-led. 'Museums are the last refuge of the architect.They are the place where architecture grows better than elsewhere. Architects have been pushed into these protected territories.'
