Rightly so. That is a minor architectural masterpiece by designers who are in control of proportion and understand history, so they can make meaningful points about the building's place in time.
This Genzyme monstrosity's perpetrators are simply professionally incompetent. They are rank amateurs in massing, proportion and detailing, and their raids on history can be described as the plunder of Visigoths. They come away brandishing arches and grunting like cavemen. They have absolutely nothing intelligible to say.
There is a completely lack of culture in their barbaric product.
Compare that with the suave and erudite understanding of history that underlies every building by Wright, no matter how iconoclastic. You yourself pointed it out in your comments about the Marin County building.
When you look like this building you should wear a paper bag on your head or hide in the corner.
This building ruins vistas from miles away. It farts and burps its way into the panorama of Boston's skyline from the river, laying waste to a delicate and refined view with its loutish, arrogant, overbearing swagger.
Truly a peasant of a building, this one is not even good enough for Des Moines or Fargo.
