Plenty of important art, like Lucien Freud's portraits or Allen Ginsburg's poetry, also manages to offend standard sensibilities, but no one is forced to look at unpleasant paintings or read difficult books. In these more optional art forms, there is nothing but upside to convention-snapping innovation, since we can embrace the works that we love and avoid the rest. But when architects take risks they are gambling with the experiences of people who have no choice but to live with and in their structures."
