Shallow article, it's like it had all the engineering in the design/construction has been sucked out. I would have expected something on the lack of:

* integration of passive/active energy saving power
* poor design in creating buildings capable of whole life existence
* improved use of natural light and air flow
* use of factory built, prefabricated frames (ie: Holland)
