Evolution can be either positive or negative. Most "advances of our modern world," like modern art and architecture, have gone in a southerly direction, to put it kindly.
I think your view is a personal one, which is fine with me. I personally try to enjoy varied creative approaches to art and architecture. My education and work is tied to that field. Criticism of Mahoney is justified, but should not have any bearing on the work of so many others who brought this project to fruition. By the way... all the money was raised for this project through donations. I believe I have some documentation somewhere in my files regarding this.
