Whether the shape being sculpted is a box or a curve, it's the same trend. The difference is semantic. They both reduce architecture to geometric sculpturalism. Neither is progressive on its own terms.
That's not to say that a curvacious building can't be progressive on some other term, but either way it is not the least bit daring for an architect to design a building that is a sculpture of some shape (including the shape of shapelessness).
