I like his ideas but I'm not sure i feel anything much for this Mies guy, he's no Loyd Wright now there's a man! I think the Palumbo Lord chap sold on his house after this, not so fond of it now then was he
for those that do not know Robert Hughes very few are more qualified at criticing either art or architecture and the respective histories of both genres.
The layman with an ego large enough to convince himself he has the knowledge, inteligence and sensitivity to judge an established genius is quite a sad phenomenon.
The narrator starts this series by saying Meis is his favorite architect. Yet, the entire time he says this work sucks, this other work is dull, I do not like this side of Meis. I don't think anyone disagrees...
I disagree. As I hear him both critique and praise Mies's work He's simply expressing a personal point of view and I would suspect most would agree with most of what he has to share. it's also obvious to me that he has an eneormous amount of respect (and awe) for this brilliant and courageous architectural visionary. That he does not always understand Mies's thinking is simply the product of an educated but otherwise relatively average person attempting to comprehend genius.

That is the best line ever. You'll only understand it too if you go to IIT. "There isn't a bad Mies, but by God there is a dull Mies"
