Architecture In The 'Land of the Mall?'
After decades of ignoring the trends in Europe, architecture in the U.S. is becoming exciting again.
"For decades, America had been sitting out architecture's Rem-formation. None of Europe's innovators Koolhaas among them had completed a significant project in the US... What a difference two years makes. Koolhaas Seattle Public Library, which opened in June, could be, as the New York Times critic put it, 'the most exciting new building in 30 years'... American architecture critics, accustomed to buying transatlantic tickets, are now flying domestic."
