Have a look at heatherwick's buildings. Tell me what you think.
Nobody does architectural criticism anymore. In the industry it is all breathless, feint praise. Like the Hollywood cliché.
I for one, enjoy hearing someone's critical thinking about the architecture underneath the skin of a building. As in, the systems and processes that structure space and movement and interaction and emotion and society. What is the fucking point of architecture if all it does is pretty.

The article contains none of that. As another commenter perfectly described: this piece doesn't seem to make any coherent argument. Nowhere does she explain why she dislikes it aesthetically.
