BKL does really great simple boxes but I'd want something more than a simple box here. And Pelli has lots of name recognition and his
recent stuff is really not PoMo at all; much like Jahn, he transitioned away from postmodernism with the trend. Pelli's recent stuff isn't amazing, but the materiality and sizing is as good as BKL, but more interesting in form imo. I'd rate others (Nouvel, Holl etc.) over him, but his stuff is certainly not pedestrian. Plus getting a Pelli design boosts the city's global image.
