well, it's beautiful for one. and it's extremely progressive compared to the crap that has become the norm out here in chicago.
but on a more serious note, i see stuff like this as great examples of this rebirth of modernism that we've seen since the start of the new century. it is something that the post-modern era help to bring about (howover painful the process was though). that is, the post-modern era help to break modernism out of its rut, and it is now in a period of rebirth. and i believe this is that.
i don't know. maybe this falls under the 'great buildings' part of the title!
