TUP, exactly what we mean when we say this building - and all of LaGrange's buildings, really - are a terrible missed opportunity. The motor arcade as it's being built is the most obnoxious part of this project in my opinion. It was a huge chance to add something unique to the city, and instead we have something that makes me hide my face as I pass by.
I mean, Pelli is a good architect, but not fabulous - and he was able to pull that off...
