A nice little port town. Don't know what the people there have done to deserve this abomination on the landscape. I am as open-mided as the next person when it comes to architectural novelty, but I firmly believe that "good taste" in architecture is inseparable from at least some spin on functionality. All flourish; no substance; stupid buildings.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/04/12/shanghai_home_t.php#comment-205268 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/04/12/shanghai_home_t.php#comment-205268 Comments Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:31:08 +0800 <p>the spanish one is simply horrible.
