In reality, a truly magnificient symbol of achievement. A ‘ground breaking’ testament to the vision of a truly remarkable man.
Time defeats us all but, hopefully, this edifice shall remain as a memorial to a true artist.

One of the great buildings of the world, by a great artist. Lucky we didn’t know the final cost at the beginning, or it would never have been built.
Philip Johnson replied
well they want to spend a another $400 Million to get it right
