I'm not a big fan of Sorg's architecture, and (cf previous comments) her community relations have been poor. But to say that a child could have designed the building is, well, childish. For starters, children put gable roofs on whatever they draw.<br /><br />Just because you personally detest modern design doesn't mean that there isn't talent involved. And the faux-historicist ones usually come out either much worse or hopelessly bland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-21328179743331772182012-04-23T08:48:33.462-04:002012-04-23T08:48:33.462-04:00This is an interesting juxtaposition, the modernis...This is an interesting juxtaposition, the modernist brick facade and the traditional gothic brick facade.
