Yep, his much-hyped building at MIT leaks and the solar load makes certain areas difficult to work in. The building it replaced was a scruffy old frame building that worked fantastically. Read "how buildings age". |

I could happily step into many of those pre-70s kitchens. In fact, the only post-70s picture that appeals to me is the 'farmhouse kitchen.' And we HAD metal cabinets.

Metal cabinets and a 2 sided fireplace were hallmarks of the homes in Levittown, NY post WWII.

Oh, I'm aware there have been problems along the way. The Disney Concert Hall caused a huge brouhaha. Love the building. Hate the fact it caused problems for the neighbors. Non-traditional thought and design usually breeds controversy. |
