The concert hall is problematic. It is an example of a design that looks exquisite in the model (as you stand above, all white cardboard.)...........but the finality is a dud. Too much blank space. Too much theory. Too much of the old man forgetting that beauty is in thje details....in the tiniest element of the project. There is no tiny element here. It is all bombast. The birth of bombastic architecture in the U.S. Poor Bernard Maybeck would have thought this horrid building a bad joke. Let's assemble Maybeck, Harrison, Van Alen as a jury and see what they have to say. Better luck next time. Part 2: If any architecture students watch this.: Beware! Walk in another direction.
