Santa Monica has development height restrictions. Who are they kidding? I like his work and Santa Monica would be a logical place, but I can't believe anything that might set precedence would or could ever be built.

Face it, his current work is actually something very different from what he was doing with Bilbao and Disney Concert Hall.

Gehry proves himself inept for consistently repeating a style which abuses space and material. Yes, but Mies was explicitly condoning an internationally applicable architecture.
