Insanity. All these new buildings just plopped down on their lots with no consideration for orientation, like they are made of tissue paper and blown into place by a fart. It almost looks like a collage of building photos but, no, this is how they look.

Nothing exists in a vacuum.

Gehry said something along the lines of the only reason the Dancing House can exist is because of context. Without context they are pointless. The whimsical and fantastic are only possible with an understanding of "normal."If nothing is normal, nothing is fantastic. These buildings in Vancouver seem to exist out of context, or without context. It's dizzying.

Architects have been here before. We should be learning from our mistakes.
