The future never turns out quite the way we imagine. That's why it's good to have a few alternatives on hand in case yours fails. Up on the 53rd floor of the Roppongi Hills Mori Building there's a big exhibition celebrating the life and work of Le Corbusier. The Mother of all Modernists saw almost all his private houses and chapels built, but very few of his big-scale corporate and civic structures ever made it into the real world. The irony is that Modernism itself has had quite the opposite fate; it's succeeded in corporate buildings, but failed in private ones.
