Postmodernism...it turns out, is not much better than modernism for the progression of good design. I'm very sorry to bring down the city of bike friendly streets, hip transit-oriented development, and sustainably driven firms, but this one had to be slapped down on the table...and beaten. The Portland Building, designed by Michael Graves, is a 15-story hard-featured beast. The mini-windows dappled around the geometric oddities are far from boring and far from visually appealing. Although there is no other like it, it taints the flavor of Portland with a bitter bite.
Warning sign, warning sign,I see it but I pay it no mind.
