In a recent interview, the saxophonist answered a question about this impression with a certain offhandedness.
The comparison was unexpected and intriguing, and when explored further serves not only to amplify differences between two buildings of similar scale, function and location, but also differences between two modes of architectural practice; between the discipline of an architect like Piano (who believes that artists in all fields should perfect and rehearse known techniques), and the self-confessed offhandedness of Fretton (who seems to rely much more on experience and intuition).
And unfortunately he did so, with casual and brutal offhandedness.
