Dezeen debate features "refuge for the uncreative"

The latest Dezeen Debate newsletter features the transformation of a historic Spanish bank into the Faro Santander museum by David Chipperfield Architects. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

Scheduled to open in September, the museum will open up the listed Pereda Building on the Santander seafront to the public for the first time.

Commenters weren't to impressed with the project, with one stating that it has "meticulously stripped the interior of all its character". Reflecting, another wrote, "minimalism is just a refuge for the uncreative."

Other stories in this week's newsletter included the news that an office-to-residential development in New York is at risk of collapsing, a pastel-coloured airport in Jodhpur, India and a kindergarten created for Technical University of Munich by Kéré Architecture.
