Something again crawled out of the sea, rolled over, and died...

And it's not just that Gehry's architecture is ugly but it's empty. Like the word "excellence," it has no meaning. And something that has no meaning is striving for political neutrality. And political neutrality is the desired result of projects funded by those in positions of power, like developers and pro-business associations. It promotes the idea or illusion that there are things in capitalist society that are universal, natural, that can be shared or enjoyed by all with no consequences. Those in power want us to believe such neutral social spaces and practices exist within the limits of the market; what this means is that the tools for transforming this type of society are to be found inside and not outside of it. One such tool/solution is carbon trading. I hate Gehry.
