"Albert Speer is one of the most infamous architects in history. During his time working for the Nazi Party he was responsible for designing the Reich Chancellery and the Zeppelinfeld stadium in which the Nuremberg rallies took place, as well as being in charge of Germany's war production during the Second World War and being slated to plan the massive reconstruction Berlin as Germania. Yet by emphasising his detachment from the general conditions he was able to avoid the death sentence after the war. While his is an extreme example, it offers a compelling jumping off point to explore the wider issue of an architect's responsibility for the wider system within which they choose to work. Moving from the mid-20th Century to now, this episode explores the specific role certain architects have played in developing the stadiums and infrastructure for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Here, gross violations of human rights and international labour law throw up serious questions about the moral ramifications of designing projects in the country. How can architects balance the benefit of bringing a smooth, shiny new project against the human cost required to produce it?"-- provided by distributor.
