The Cutty Sark isn't a building. At the time of her construction she was the most innovative sailing ship the world had ever seen. Most of that innovation is in the design of her hull. Giving the visitor the opportunity to walk below her and inspect the wonderful technology is inspired. What are these fools talking about? The Cutty Sark isn’t a building.

The technology is what saved architecture from clutches of styles, and all the other guys like Foster, Rogers, Renzo Piano contributed to that.
