@argonaut While I agree that this is hard to photograph, I disagree that this helps vindicate him. The widespread adoption - untested and as an article of faith - of the "flow" theory that he promoted was responsible for several decades of disastrous, neighborhood-destroying "urban renewal" projects in NYC and elsewhere in the US. It also cemented the need to have a car in many previously walkable places.

In response to this post@argonaut Of course, this isn't a criticism of the buildings themselves, which were stylistically products of a much larger movement, but of exactly the larger context you're talking about. Plazas and other features around living- and work-spaces are great, but they largely precluded letting people organically evolve how we use precious urban space.
