I remember walking through the new Bonaventure Hotel lobby when I was in high school and being amazed. Later, I'd figure out some of the problems with it, and there are many. Still, it's a powerful use of form, space, material, light and water-- a useful illustration of the potential of architecture.

Portman really paved the way for many modern architects & developers. He was taking an equity stake on his designs before it was ok by the profession.

I once got hopelessly lost in the Ren. Cen.
Pretty cool design, could use better signage.

I can see at least 4 of his buildings from my condo window here in ATL. The exteriors are ugly. Love his atriums though. Dislike the sky bridges.
