I like Oral Roberts U! Well, at least I like the Prayer Tower. The other buildings aren't so hot.

Anyway, don't architects have a responsibility to design buildings that are pleasant to live and work in? This is where modernism has failed in many attempts - not to say that all of Modernism is failure. I personally think that Mies' office buildings are wonderful and quite pleasant, mainly because they embrace glass so much, allowing for transparency from the outside and from the inside. I thought Crown Hall was quite pleasant, too. In my opinion, a good Modernist building is like a person who comes to a party and enriches the laughter and conversation by bringing out the best in others - not like somebody who comes and steals the show.
