Le Corbusier. This journalists unashamed (and justifiable) dislike is highly amusing. One such example: "Le Corbusier wanted to be to the city what pasteurization is to cheese."
or indeed, this little gem:

"When one recalls Le Corbusier’s remark about reinforced concrete—“my reliable, friendly concrete”—one wonders if he might have been suffering from a degree of Asperger’s syndrome: that he knew that people talked, walked, slept, and ate, but had no idea that anything went on in their heads, or what it might be, and consequently treated them as if they were mere things. Also, people with Asperger’s syndrome often have an obsession with some ordinary object or substance: reinforced concrete, say."

Delicious.
