April Eyesore of the Month:James Howard Kunstler
Deconstruction of architecture-this month a special "storyboard" edition.He bashes public and commercial as well as residential architecture so he is not government bashing in order to starve the beast.I hope the storyboard format continues with a look at the "village" type shopping center with happy new urban paint schemes filled with nasty sole proprietors.

1. There are some amazingly bad buildings in there...
I'm gonna see if he'll take submissions from elsewhere. There are two wretchedly designed buildings here in Reno that immediately came to mind as I looked at his pictures. I can't imagine any respectable architect honestly approving the designs for either of them... though, Frank Gehry did design the Steaming Pile of Metallic Dogshit Museum... :shrug:
