He didn't branch out much. Designed one building and repeated it over and over. That it and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. I don't like the ground floors of the Rainier Tower though.

San Jose City Hall is pretty bad. Looks like a greenhouse and a birdcage had a special needs baby

You'd be surprised what that building was supposed to look like before they took the budget ax to it.

Any of that Soviet Bloc-inspired architecture from the 70's is awful. Like the FBI in DC

Yeah, but in the 70s, Brutalists got more brutal (heavier in concrete) than the late 50's look. IMO.

Slight detour, ruined churches all over the British Isles are (for me) wonderful.

I spend more time seeing them than I prolly should.

But the mother of all ruined buildings is this bad boy-
