Nicolai Ourousoff... can't say he has ever met a Thom Mayne building he didn't like: the Caltrans design is a blunt rejection of the sterile towers and intimidating plazas that have turned much of downtown Los Angeles into a soulless corporate enclave sealed off from the area's surrounding ethnic neighborhoods.

One sentence on the interior: 'By comparison, the offices are relatively banal, victims of budget constraints." Pity the poor occupants; we must all realize that this is about the skin and the public spaces and certainly not about those individuals that are stuck in those banal office each day. Too bad the needs of the offices weren't balanced with the needs of the architect.
obviously m.scott fajack has never worked with clients, because banal is exactly what they like....
