no pun. tom gets my guilty as charged exaggeration slurs. stones 2cc is a modernist underdog, without a legitimate "international style" modernist heritage and famously derided by nyt architecture critic ada louise huxtable back in the day. time though has proven it to be quite a unique modern structure in much the same way as lapidus's fontainebleau hotel on miami beach. its not about artistic taste though but as ouroussoff points out, a level of complexity now required in approaching todays historic preservation. curbed relentlessly slags nicholas O as a mere muschamp clone and we are in no way muschamp fans here. they seam to come up on the wrong side of almost every issue i care about.
