The ends of America, the ends of postmodernism; On CofL49 again, always

[David Morris]

Times Square isn't architecture, it's advertising.  Giant electronic
billboards swallowing up whole buildings.

Bad architecture (meaning *today* any postmodernism still being
practiced by mediocre designers) has always outnumbered quality
architecture.  I think that rule holds true for all of the arts.  But
no "starchitects" have been doing postmodernism for at least 15 years
(if not 20).  The stars of postmodern architecture back in the 80's
have either moved on, or they are being ignored as irrelevant.
