It's been ages since I've laughed this hard at Kunstler's "Eyesore of the Month".
"The Peter B. Lewis Building for Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management. Architect: Frank Gehry. If your dog had a tumor like this the vets would just shake their heads and put him to sleep. The design follows the logic of cancer: invade and overwhelm the host organism. It's appropriate that this building houses the business school, because it aptly expresses the disfigurement of American economic practice in our time: banality meets pathology in a tragic duet."
Looking through some of the past month's eyesore's, I came across this:

Last week I worked on a film set that shot a few scenes here - the sound mixer I was working for called it 'the Jetson's building'.

If you're going to have random swirly shapes invade your building, why not go all the way and build a big ole Godzilla doing it? That would be way more fun.
