问题     One might assume the most admired architecture would be the best built. This was generally true in the past, but in the twentieth century, when new materials and new aesthetic theories often drove architects to cavalier experimentation, even celebrated architects fell short. When designing the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers turned the building literally inside out. Previously hidden elements such as pipes, ducts, and elevators were exposed to view—and exposed to the elements. The result might have been foreseen: after only twenty years, the building was closed for a two-year renovation. Although the authorities maintained that the unexpectedly large numbers of visitors necessitated the renovation, much of the budget was spent on refurnishing the facade.
Which of the following qualities of the Centre Pompidou forms the basis for the author’s critique of Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers ’ work?
选项 A、Its popularity
B、Its initial construction cost
C、Its size
D、Its durability
E、Its location
答案D
解析 根据第五六两句，作者认为蓬皮杜在建造仅仅二十年后就被翻修，并且其翻修的原因是建筑表面，因此可知作者利用蓬皮杜中心的耐用性不良批判了伦佐.皮亚诺和理查德.罗杰斯两人，因此答案为选项D。
