Daniel Burnham’s plan was to create a European tourist attraction on a swamp in America.

So what’s wrong with a building that looks like it was dropped from another planet? After all, it’s only a few blocks from a building designed to resemble a dog’s face.

What we need today are architects with the same force of personality as Burnham-which, I wager, resembled the extraverted Planet Hollywood quite remarkably.
