I don't know....to be honest I disagree, I think it's entirely appropriate to, when a work of art is so highly offensive and, I would say "silly" as at least I and others find the Elysian to be, reflexively dismiss (in a professional critic-appropriate way, of course!) LaGrange's work is, simply put, not relevant to an architecture of today (or, in my opinion - ever!)
For sure, part of me wants to accept it as an urban design improvement, over say, a surface parking lot or a 1-story drugstore or fast food restaurant or what have you - however the just as forceful part of me that has a passion for great design is incurably nauseated by its presence and would trade it for the bare asphalt lot instead...
