Interview with Architect Albert Speer: The Search for Sustainability at the Qatar World Cup
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/architect-albert-speer-interview-on-qatar-world-cup-a-1011520.html
Albert Speer has done much to change the world's appearance. The 80-year-old architect designed a satellite city near Cairo for 3 million people, the Chinese automotive city of Anting, a new capital for Nigeria and the 2000 Expo in Hanover. He also developed the Olympic bids for Leipzig for 2012 and Munich for 2018. Speer's stadium designs are a significant reason why Qatar was awarded the 2022 football World Cup...


It happens that this is the son of the Albert Speer who left Spandau Prison in 1996.
