Is it contextual?
How could Boston's music scene be roused from its torpor?
Don?t know what to think of Meier?s building. It sure makes the church look dirty.
Oh, seen by itself this one is as pretty as any other Meier building. It's just that, in its context, it seems so temporary ... almost like a tent.Ablarc, I recall you once asking (in regard to the Jubilee Church), "Can this guy design an ugly building?" Well, I like the Jubilee Church, and I agree that many of his buildings are attractive and well crafted. At best, Meier creates a heady brew of Corbu, Aalto (of the Paimio Sanatorium), and Neutra. But it's all so white, and bloodless, and antiseptic.
Maybe I don't know what "good" looks like anymore...
But that cathedral...
