I was extremely excited to see SANAAs Toledo Glass musueum, if only because her work was supposed to be so simple and elegant. i don't know, the more i looked at it, the flimsier it felt. Saarinen's Cranbrook campus didn't feel that way. Was it because it is older? Was it just built better? Or did he just pay more attention to that problem.
The iPhone doesn't look flimsy, nor does this computer i'm typing this on. but our buildings, and I would probably put most of them in this category, just look flimsy. Like we don't really mean it anymore.

What kind of Jobs apologist are you? Sounds like the iPhone is performing about as well as the Hancock Tower in the early going (speaking of glass-coated objects).
