Memorial Aesthetics

USA Today had an interesting article today about the critical response to the new World War II Memorial in DC. I knew there was great controversy over the location of the memorial, but I had no idea that the architectural elite have described it as "[l]ike something the Nazis would have built," and a "hodgepodge of cliche and Soviet-style pomposity." Poor choices for comparison, I think.
