So Long, Frank Lloyd Wrong?

Here's the funny thing about all these new "unprecedented" buildings – they're all copying other buildings.

First the writers of the tv sitcom Wings make fun of Modernism by thinking up a building that everyone will laugh at. Then the French architect Christian de Portzamparc does them one better by building it – and winning the Pritzker Prize! (I wrote about that last month in Separated at Birth?).

And now it's the latest thing since sliced bread at the NYC 2012. I wrote about that just yesterday.
