The Great American Building, like the Great American Novel, is a phrase that can scarcely be uttered today without irony. The problem is that if you do not believe in greatness, you do not strive for it, which may explain why today we no longer seem able to make universally acknowledged masterpieces such as Fallingwater or the Chrysler Building. But if we no longer think in terms of greatness, the past year has given us some very good buildings. Imaginative problem-solving, masterly use of innovative technology, and concern for the human experience of a building: All are there in abundance.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
