| I like Frank Gehry's newer designs. Admittedly, he, too, had produced a bunch of trashy architecture. And I believe the aerospace museum right across the road from the USC campus is a major architectural ugliness, which ironically located not very distant from his alma mater.
Speaking of Shanghai, the city government forbids any design of new buildings to be used more than once. So, this may actually contribute to the architectural diversity of the city. But the sadness is, most of those new buildings in Shanghai, particularly in Pudong, are the products of foreign firms. This just shows how weak Chinese architects are, except a few solid ones. |
