This is so true... most of the projects going in, feeling like they don't even try anymore. There were a lot of existing elements to the original design, some space age era stonework for example, that they could've incorporated into the new design. Instead they just blew it all up and put in a bunch of glass and steel panels. The boom over the last 10 years, save a few key projects, has been quantity over quality, schedule and budget first. Not a lot of risk taking and faith out there that in the past has made some places really special.
