Eyesore of the month — you can thank me
About three weeks ago I came across a photo essay for “The Standard Hotel” in New York City. While the so-called experts were praising the structure for being some innovative step forward in Modernist Architecture, I found it to be pretty god-awful.
I immediately thought of my favorite polemicist, James Howard Kunstler, and sent him a link, suggesting the building for the next “Eyesore of the Month,” his monthly highlight of man made ugliness.
While I was not credited for the find, I feel particularly honored to have contributed to the canon.
