You get used to the ugly architecture that afflicts so much of American life: schools that look like prisons, post offices that resemble something out of the Gulag, high rises that have only one merit: height.
The main library in Phoenix looks like a giant air conditioning unit.
There were people who applauded it.
How often do you see architecture that inspires or uplifts?
