It is when you design a subway station in the form of an aluminium megaphone.
Mies' work was so rigidly geometric because of its strict functionality, the comparisons to Koolhaas are relevant when discussing their works' artistic/aesthetic value [which is quite unfair when evaluating a building]. I understand entirely what you mean (and perhaps you even agree with my tangent) I just don't like seeing Mies and Koolhaas juxtaposed to bring credibility to the latter.
