Phil has a point. The 25 year old Michael Graves Portland Building is falling apart and the roof continues to leak... not a good thing in Oregon. But it was one hellava fashion fad architectural statement. Boys boys boys… Phil has a point.

Jimmy, unfortunately the history of architecture is littered with the failed attempts to follow trends of aesthetics without asking the searching (geekish) questions that actually enable the design to work.

It is a gorgeous design. Hey Jimmy,

It is a gorgeous design.

The alternating oak and glass gives the extension a very light and airy feeling while still providing great structural stength. It looks very light from the outside while giving a strong feeling from the inside. Absolutely beautiful. Really a fascinating design and execution!
