Pritzker heavyweights inluding Murcutt, Piano, and Herzog got together the past 3 days in Pamplona for Spain's first international architecture congress. Too much naval-gazing for young Barcelona-based architect <a href="http://www.btbwarch.com/" target="_blank">Fredy Massad</a>'s taste, who's cheeky criticism included comments like "more hypocrisy for less self-criticism", while <a href="http://www.elpais.com/articulo/cultura/costo/aprender/arte/mejora/gente/elpepicul/20100610elpepicul_4/Tes" target="_blank">El País</a> praised the underdog of the group, "anti-starchitect" Alejandro Aravena for his humanitarian design. Oh, and apparently Murcutt said it was his last public appearance, he's retiring to work at home.</p>
