It seems though that there is a current that would go far beyond this, into a world of subjective sculpture intwined with high speed transportation linkages and pathways: a brave new world of building that calls to mind the post-apocolyptic art of Lebbeus Woods. But Woods doesn't subject us to the actual buildings as Mayne does. If Thom Mayne can convince the people paying for these projects to go for it, more power to him. One more thing, this building is not even close to being sustainable, I don't care what LEED certification they purchased.

I'm sure someone said exactly what you are saying years ago. What about the scale and majesty of the buildings before the Church and Cooper Union?
