But in recent years, criticism of these extreme "gestural" structures, known for their often-exaggerated forms, has been growing. Miles Glendinning's impassioned polemic, Architecture's Evil Empire, looks at how today's trademark architectural individualism stretches beyond the well-known works and ultimately extends to the entire built environment.
