Marc speaks a truth that architecture schools and periodicals don't want to acknowledge. For the most part they go on training for and promoting an architecture not worthy of preservation, which is why we have the modern preservation movement. Don't like it? Lobby to get the producers of our built envirinment to shoot for something more memorable than a one liner with a 20-50 year life span.
Look at the progression of Madison Square Gardens for further proof of what Marc is speaking about. No amount of archispeak or patronizing sermons about authenticity will get lay people to want the present Madision Square Garden over the last one.
