The rest of us can sit on on a cafe, sipping our lattes, wondering aloud in the world's most beautiful language why anyone in their right mind would build a deconstructionist version of the Ryugyong Hotel in the heart of Paris. Then we'd be distracted by the beautiful people walking by on the sidewalk, forgetting momentarily that we are skyscraper nerds.
