I never gave Hart Plaza's architectural cache much thought until you mentioned it, and so I turned up this article:

Sounds to me like the park is hard, cold, not really what's needed, and in line to be demoed like others of its kind. Mr. Noguchi may have designed "playful" landscapes, but I'd rather play in Campus Martius, with its lush, tree-filled spaces and warm, accessible hardscapes.
