"I'm not a fan, because I think he doesn't know the difference between a building and a CD rack," says Ellis Woodman, an architect and the director of the Architecture Foundation. "There's no sense of scale, no sense of an urban idea that the buildings are contributing to. They disregard architectural history or the character of the spaces in which they stand. [The Google building] is not a building that's interested in making relationships with things around it. The work is always the most important building on its site, whatever he's doing.
There's never a sense that the role of a building might be to contribute to the definition of a space with other buildings."

The persistent myth that Steve Jobs just had genius ideas emerge out of his genius brain without incrementally building on prior work or observing humans or learning from huge mistakes continues to make people stupid.
