In Reply to: Re: Just curious....you were less than complimentary of the Getty Center... posted by Bambi B on October 9, 2006 at 15:31:28:
one agrees 100%. I too found the Getty completely unimpressive... and I visited soon after it's opening when it was being universally raved upon.
A month ago, I visited the arts center desinged by Gehry at Bard College. It looked cookie-cutterish, Bilbao-lite.
I believe the Phoenix AZ library is Koolhaas's work? I liked it very much.
Meier's art museum in Atlanta is nice, though enough with the white, already.
Graves has an enchanting building in Portland OR but it's impossible to see much of the interior spaces, they're private.
On a trip to Ft. Worth, I visited the Tadao Ando "addition" to the Kahn museum. Spectacular from the outside but it has those massive interior spaces, lit with huge glass walls, which are rather uninteresting. Good for the my-sculpture-is-bigger-than-your's artists, however.
You also neglected another current darling... Piano. And that Italian chap who built, in Milwaukee I believe, that building with the piercing roofline?
FLW continues to be my favorite "modern" architect: his interior spaces are so quiet, tranquil... and on a human scale.
