"Wasserman criticized the stripes on the building's exterior, which includes two different colors and two textures. She called the design too hectic and busy and said it was "too much Saturday night for seven days a week.""

Once again Ms wasserman criticizes designs by others. I do not recall Ms Wasserman ever liking anything. This is the problem in a Palo Alto, as an extension of the Palo Alto process, commission members get to play power games, endlessly criticizing.

Are we to hold up this project because of the stripes on a building!!!! Is this not ridiculous? ANd waht was her comment about Saturday night supposed to mean?

Since Ms. Wasserman has a dragon painted on her garage, I'm not sure she's qualified to say any building is too busy!

Wasserman has shown to be a failure as an architect, so she takes out her bitterness and emptiness in life by endlessly criticizing the work of people who are actually qualified to work as architects and have created designs that she could never hope to accomplish.

Come now, the JCC design has more than one color, not stripes but geometric stripes, and I am not sure about how many textures, but they have got it so why can't we have more!
