Only In Vegas
West | Tuesday, August 25, 2009 | Sam Lubell.
After a recent visit we saw that Las Vegas’ 18 million square-foot City Center project, with buildings by Daniel Libeskind, Norman Foster, Cesar Pelli, Helmut Jahn, Rafael Vinoly, and KPF, among others, is well underway. In fact despite delays (remedied by foreign investors), the project’s web site still claims it will be done by this year. We also noticed that Libeskind’s new building is sporting a conspicuous Louis Vuitton logo. Only in Vegas.

Even by Las Vegas’ extremely low standards of aesthetics, Daniel Libeskind’s work stands out as being particularly ludicrous. He distorts a few cubes, adds a slash-shaped window or two and – VOILA! – instant junk architecture. I’m amazed he finds people stupid enough to waste their time on the junk coming out of his office.
