One of his alumni, the highly regarded architect Michael Maltzan, and a designer on the Walt Disney Concert Hall, says "most of the time people understand his buildings from their surface but deep down Frank is a classically trained architect. Whether that's historical classicism or a classical modernism, the foundations of that work and what's really operating under the surface is this incredibly controlled sense of order which allows for the buildings to have a seemingly intense animation". — kcet.org

This is silly, why would classicism be reduced to the redundant statement: "incredibly controlled sense of order"?

"Whether that's historical classicism or a classical modernism" Two distinct things, but who cares when your making a word salad, they eat it up anyway.
