And you have an alibi . Just copy and paste architecture!
Listen to the alibi using Venturi, too:
Koolhaas's engagement with Mies is apparent the moment you walk in the door, because Mies is in the door-an 18-foot-high portrait of him is sandwiched between the panes of glass, so that you walk into the building through his head.
This kind of iconography plays a big part in Koolhaas's design, reflecting Robert Venturi's conviction that in our electronic information age “architecture should reject abstract form” of the Miesian variety and restore iconography as the “essential architectural element.” As he explains, “Egyptian hieroglyphics on pylons are like billboards;; early Byzantine or Christian basilicas...have interiors teaming with signage-we call it high art....It was only in the twentieth century that
they got rid of iconographic communication.”
