| "Where am I sitting?" "Rather near the gizzard, I think."
Bill, in mild defense of Crow's building, it was more successful on the inside than that picture looking down on the replaced roof would suggest. It was faux, but kind of good faux.
looking around for an image I came across that birds eye view which dramatises it's fascadeness. I've not been inside and will have to take your word on it's value. I have seen the well cituated stemmons view and it is much more convincing, perhaps the primary pov. the problem for me is the po-mo main st disney fakery of form not following function as in the original. good buildings (like good sculpture) should hold together from every (reasonable) angle. I would certainly make exceptions to that rule in sculpture, but not buildings.
