"Behold the new $30 million Ontario College of Art & Design classroom
and studio building by British architect Will Alsop -- a totemized
retro-futuroid coffee table joined umbilically to its Soviet-style predecessor
below. The message, apparently: art and design are nothing but fun fun fun.
Nothing to get serious about. A playful spirit of induced hazard will keep
students wondering when the checkered box might wobble free of its cute
swizzle-stick legs and come crashing down on their heads. This exercise in
hyper-entropic avant garde faggotry is so cutting edge that it is already out of
date. The only question: which of the two conjoined buildings is more cruelly
ridiculous?"

I'd expect beer in green bottles, that's what. Don't laugh so quickly, the US
has PLENTY of crap-ass design.
