I never get what he's saying, yet I always bristle at the implications. It's like he's telling the world "Mediocre is good, it's all we should strive for in architecture and in life" and I can't quite believe he really means it. Is he using the celebration of mediocrity as a form of rebellion, a way to be noticed fro not actually doing anything very risky?
Not that all those buildings shown are bad, many of them appear very lovely, though anyone who holds up the Harold Washington Library as good is deeply suspect in my book.
the librarians like that? where does this fact arrive from? i have never, ever in my entire life, living here ever heard of anyone, not one person, who likes that library--not one...except you vado...and witold
