Review: Very good article. It covered everything that you can cover in this article. It was well-thought out and prepared.

Review: You've got to admit the ball in the middle of the Taipei building is an amazing thing. In my mind any green buildings that can help promote building more of these type and making people more aware of green buildings is a good thing. The Letterman building, with its airflow system, and Hearst, with its efficient factor and air pollution reducing facors, are great. I agree that I like to be able to breath fresh air when I am confined all day in a building. I don't know this for a fact, as I don't work there -- but breathing in Manhattansair may not be the freshest experience. Filtration might be a good thing. I am sure there are many other buildings that are more or equally amazing out there or more beautiful but these should not be discounted either.

Review: I'm not amused -- the headline promised so much, yet this article does not deliver. Maybe add some content.

Review: Do your architecture critics ever venture from the usual locations on the East and West Coasts or inviting foreign assignments like from France or Britain? Is the inner-American continent and its architecture terra incognita?

Review: I have never seen anything so ugly. Beauty it isn't and as for brains, there's no evidence of that either and I include the designers.

Review: Nice topic, but I guess it could be properly named "Architectural Wonders (in America plus a few we happen to know)."

Review: As an aspiring Australian industrial designer I'm always streaming the many medias for a fresh design that I can analyze elements of and implement in any of my future projects. I particularly enjoyed reading the requirements of a modern form of architecture (firmness~sense of place). I do agree with most readers stating that there are "bigger and better" buildings out there, however anything that's environmentally sustainable is worthy of the list. Design-wise a little less practicality and a bit more imagination would have made the structures a little more exciting. If we decide millions into these modern works of architecture, let's keep raising the imaginition bar. I sure I will be doing the same in the future with my projects.
