Personally, once they built the horrendously ugly Art of the Americas building that cut it off from Wilshire, they ruined it. It used to look like the LA version of Lincoln Center and now it's just a big mess. Here's hoping they actually improve it this time. |
I pretty much agree with your take. The cantilevered design kind of grew on me even though I could feel myself digging in my heels. Then they pretty much ruined it and I found, to my surprise, my earlier ambivalence had changed to some kind of vague affection. I have a friend/acquaintance who is a curator at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum right along there on Wilshire, I'm going to send him an email to see what their sense of it is.
