It's no surprise that both Wolf Prix, in his attack on the David Chipperfield-curated Venice Biennale, and Chipperfield, with his angry response, both attack the media before rounding on each other. The press is just one more territory for both of these influential architects to exert control, and despite their dismissals - Prix says the media 'constantly exaggerates' and Chipperfield is 'disappointed' the AJ gave prominence to Prix in the first place - both of them use the press to further their own ambitions.
