Bill Spiers Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 On the unveiling of the new $196 million FIFA headquarters in Zurich, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said the vast glass-fronted complex would: "allow light to shine through the building and create the transparency we all stand for." I wonder if Andrew Jennings was invited to the unveiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juby Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 196 million would buy a hell of alot of soccer balls for kids in Africa and Asia. I'd bet dollars to donuts I could make them a perfectly satisfactory headquarters for like 25-40 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jeffery S. Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 "The discourse of transparency is everywhere. What I am interested in is this notion that transparency gives us the impression of openness and full accessibility. It creates a phantasmagoria of light, visibility, accountability. But all this transparent glass acts as a deception. It lures us into the belief that history has ended, that there are no ideologies anymore." Steffen Böhm, "Good Bye Lenin!
