I think it looks good from certain angles. From some others it looks like a freeway overpass. I think it could become an iconic building, in time. But mostly I like what it does to the grounds of LACMA. It opens it up and makes it more inviting from the street. Previously it was a like a fortress wall fronting Wilshire. Not inviting at all.
