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."
--H. P. Lovecraft ("The Call of Cthulhu")

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.
