Stella’s interest in architecture is unabashedly and unapologetically about form not function, about a structure’s “pictorial” quality. Build a beautiful building, in other words, and a practical purpose can be found for it—and clients will come. ArchRecord | Don't miss the multimedia content...

in the short video within the article, i just loved the care in his eyes when he says, after describing his first remarkable architectural experience:
"you can't forget things like that"
makes me remember why i love architecture...
I think Stella is to in love with form...
Of course he is an artist so....
Personally i hope that he is wrong when he says that form and non-falt roofs are coming back (in architecture) and then namedrops Gehry and Calatrava.
While they buidl "pretty" buildings...I certainly hope (and don't agree with him) that this is where architecture as a profession is headed.,
