leaky roofs in a concrete jungle

modern architecture that’s still ugly, but at least utilizes space well (?)

here’s a quote:
“…the work of Paul Rudolph, a Kentucky-born architect who, in the
second half of the 20th century, produced a remarkable series of
buildings, virtually all of them of concrete poured into shapes so
complex that users were both exhilarated and mystified…”

and another:
“If Rudolph’s buildings aren’t as highly valued as those of some of his contemporaries, that’s in part because they aren’t as well understood.”

here’s the whole New York Times article—take a look at the photos with the article—interesting buildings. Here’s one:

(Tony Cenicola/The New York Times) The Orange County Government Center in Goshen, N.Y. A county official says that the building has 87 roofs, and that all of them leak.
