It's hard to say if we went wrong, but it's great seeing the futuristic relics that were supposed to foretell upcoming trends intermingled with the current cityscape as it was actually built. The Monorail and Space Needle are awesome examples of architectural anachronisms that have come to define Seattle, but we've also got our share of vintage domed Safeway grocery stores with Googie style facade. As much as I do enjoy seeing these testaments to another time, it seems naive for architects to consider a form of architecture that is inherently inefficient to be the future.
