After nine years and $135 million, the Yale Art Galleries on the university’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut, have reopened to display the treasures you more typically find in a big-city museum. The project is the culmination of a campus-wide arts master plan that has taken 17 years and $500 million. — bloomberg.com

The 1953 Kahn Building extends the Old Gallery with a deferential addition in a no-nonsense industrial style.
This is so incorrect. The author seems to be forgetting the thousands of pre-1900 warehouses - aka "industrial" buildings - with richly detailed masonry ornamentation. And there is nothing no-nonsense about detailing things perfectly - in fact, one might say that obsessive attention to material and connection is an architect's chief luxury!
