They Are Always Trying To Prove Us Wrong
They Are Always Trying To Prove Us Wrong
The Boy, on architecture: Dad, you know how you said that modern architects and builders have no taste and build ugly buildings? What about the new symphony hall? It's pretty.
And he's right. We're looking forward to getting our first peek inside when the children's symphony series starts next month.
Wow--nice pile of bricks you got there! Boy's got a pretty good eye, although I see he's more Robert A.M. Stern than he is Frank Gehry.

I see that Robert A.M. Stern designed my other favorite public building in Nashville -- our downtown library. Definitely my kind of modern architect.
