Negative aspects aside Meier's buildings have an appeal, apparent
to architects and laypersons alike. The image at left attests
to his ability to articulate light and views, as light is filtered
into the public corridor through well-detailed brise-soleil.
His consideration of views leads me to believe that a fondness
for site is present, though not in a formal manner. His meticulous
detailing adds scale to the buildings that are now in danger
of overwhelming. And his use of light is masterful, all the more
apparent as it washes on the stark white surface of his interiors.
But with Meier's buildings it is a love-hate situation. Not necessarily
that one either loves or hates his buildings, but that what one
person finds in his buildings to love another person hates his
buildings for the same reason. |
