Let't just state this: architectural beauty is subjective. That's the great part about architecture. Everyone has their own opinion about what quantifies as beauty, just as DG does. Yes, there have been some "questionable" interior design elements in his buildings that kinda make you ask what they were thinking. But I think leaving the design elements with SHoP and giving them an outline of what he envisions, we will come up with something that may not be universally loved, but much debated. However, my fear is that he is trying to inject himself too much into the design and is tinkering. Either way, we are going to end up with a landmark building that will be critiqued for years to come, good or bad.
