Meier's got some great stuff, I especially like that white house that looks like a ship coming towards you outta the evergreens. I used to really like Stern, but he got so quirky, he became almost a parody of himself. I.M. Pei keeps on getting some great commissions, and usually doesn't disappoint. Once thing I cannot stand is this new Green Architecture...LOL, I quit giving cash to the UVA Architecture School while that dimwit McDonough was Dean...what an embecile!!

So true. I related to Stern as Stanford White--loved his shingle style stuff--but I think his Disney commission became his reality. Was actually inside some of his houses and they are parodies--Disneyana of the most Mickey Mouse sort.

I'm not against humor in architecture, but I draw the line when the joke's on the project instead of in it.
