I've been asked by a shadowy cabal of reactionary Londoners to 'un-design Battersea Power Station. I start by removing the ludicrous new 'chimney' that looks like a cheap vacuum-cleaner attachment. And the preposterous 'ego-dome'. And the stupid 'fluid geometry' of the luxury flats. Instead, I put a proper roof on and turn it into a massive powerhouse of'renewable art'. Imagine all the world's best neon installation pieces gathered in one gallery, but without that 'squandered electricity' guilt. Heel-strike generators would be fitted under the main floor and the pavements outside. The energy harvested from 30,000 pedestrians could power 6,500 lightbulbs, or a major Dan Flavin retrospective. Ah, you say, but isn't one of the Battersea Design Criteria 'the need for the project to be deliverable'? Oh, I answer, what are you even talking about?

机译：一个反动的伦敦人的阴暗集团要求我“不设计巴特西发电站”。我首先删除看起来像便宜的真空吸尘器附件的可笑的新“烟囱”。还有荒谬的“自我圆顶”。还有豪华公寓的愚蠢的“流体几何形状”。取而代之的是，我盖上了合适的屋顶，并将其变成了巨大的“可再生艺术”发电厂。想象一下所有世界上最好的霓虹灯装置作品聚集在一个画廊中，却没有那种“浪费电”的罪恶感。脚跟打击发电机将安装在主层下方，人行道外部。从30,000名行人那里收集的能量可以为6,500个灯泡供电，或者是Dan Dan Flavin的大型回顾展。嗯，您说的是，但这不是巴特西设计标准中的“项目交付的必要性”之一吗？哦，我回答，你在说什么？
