that fad has lasted quite a long time. Shangri-la, fairmont, capitol, tv towers.
local architects really jump on the bandwagon. lately it seems to be 'fins' (telus, MNP, nordstrom etc). i just noticed the other day however that Erickson used glass fins on the law courts building and that was in the 70's.
i have to say though, that Safeway is one of the nicest grocery stores i've ever seen. from the outside anyway -
