Why Foster's Hearst Tower is no gherkin | Critique | Architectural Record

Via A Daily Dose of Architecture (http://archidose.blogspot.com/), a pointer to a great article by Robert Campbell on why Foster's Hearst Tower is not a successful building. (This bookmarks p.1, but there's a second page, too.) I like Campbell's allusion to our human proclivity for *resemblance* -- I think that's right, and it's what painting used to do with *likeness* too. We can pretend that we're past that, have outgrown it, etc., but it just wouldn't be true.
