Also his main staircase connecting the old building to the new,(the only way into and out of the new building), is so narrow that people coming and going have to form awkward impromptu lines in each direction.
An absolutely horrid job of design that doesn't take into account, um, looking at art and getting into the building.
I have never heard him called "the most revered"- before. He and Daniel Liebeskind are perhaps the most self-revered architects in a profession full of super-inflated egos.
