In this TED talks Marc Kushner discusses the history of architecture, and how tomorrows architecture hopefully will not fall back into the pendulum of symbol rather than stay at innovation. Feels like I literately just posted about this with the Developer Dilemma.

My favorite moment was when Marc compared two libraries, one in Livingston, and one in Seattle. They were built at exactly the same time, however you can see the drastic difference in creativity, authenticity, and beauty ..
