That freaking monstrosity looks like the town of Whoville.
Dr. Seuss’ widow should sue.

Art is a reflection of Zeitgeist. What we see here is deconstructed architecture for a deconstructed culture.

"Without knowing what futurism is like, Johansen achieved something very close to it when he spoke of the city; for instead of describing any definite structure or building, he dwells only on broad impressions of vast angles and stone surfaces - surfaces too great to belong to anything right or proper for this earth, and impious with horrible images and hieroglyphs. I mention his talk about angles because it suggests something Wilcox had told me of his awful dreams. He said that the geometry of the dream-place he saw was abnormal, non-Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours. Now an unlettered seaman felt the same thing whilst gazing at the terrible reality."

Wow! How can you blame the architect when you assent to the construction of such a hideous glob? Whomever’s signature accepted the design is at fault for the problems of that monstrosity.

Reminds me of the architecture (esp the "in-between" stuff) in
Dark City

Looks to me like CalTech had something to do with the building design.
