Got groped by a nurse once in a trailer parked outside that one.

Michael Graves' shite always reminded me of something made out of store-brand imitation Lego by a kid who isn't very artistic.
People kept hiring him, though. Like, someone looked at that ridiculous Portland Municipal Building (first Graves design posted above, and one of his early works) and said, "yeah- we gotta get that guy to design our building, too!"

Because it's a great building. He also gave the most hilarious lecture I've ever attended at LSU.

I’m sitting next to TRUMP tower in Chicago. I’ve always loved the look of it
I mainly hate most modern skyscrapers. Just disgusting glass boxes with no soul.

It is a very significant building, in that it is an obvious hard line drawn between the modern and the postmodern. It was built in 1982, and it looks much newer to me. It doesn't look good to me, but it definitely foreshadows so much that was to come.
And it is definitely a postmodern building, in that it abandons the modern distinction between ugly and beautiful in favor of relativism. We live in a postmodern society, in which people no longer see the inherent stupidity of a vampire-themed breakfast cereal, or the "cute" characters of Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
I think Postmodernism is a cultural and aesthetic dead end, though, and the Portland Building exemplifies this in full. Strip away the Art Deco cladding and reduce it to its central prism and what you have is a boring city jail, with beady little windows and little connection with the outside world.
Oh, though, Postmodernism tells us a prison is (like a pirate or vampire) just a thing, no different from a temple or a messiah. It can be made cute, with aspirational facades grafted on, like the high fructose corn syrup sprayed onto a box of Frankenberry.
I'm not buying it, though. It's hideous and it sends a terrible, nihilist message.

The round circle building in Tampa is gross and looks like a prison

They just built the tallest building in Austin and it looks like a damn Jenga tower.
Looks like a knockoff of 56 Leonard in NYC

Haha, I’ve always thought the same. But you definitely are a baller if you live there. Views are probably amazing.

I had drinks there on the 123rd floor. Definitely wild — ears popped several times going up
