Ditto. One who was considered HUGE at our SOA was Louis Kahn. Mostly due
to 2 or 3 full professors coming from the Philly area and the Penn
connection.

We would often say, "That's what LOU would DO!!!"

Amazingly similar experiences! I once cried out of the back of a lecture
theatre when the speaker dared to mention his name as an anathema, "I'm with
Stern!".

The room roared with laughter.

What's most scary about it is that I think we're all about 10 years
apart in our school experiences. Nothing's changed in all that time. I
expect to see more crap being peddled as "good architecture" in the
coming decades. I suspect it'll be another 40-50 years before we can
hope for a significant change...

When did you graduate? I'm '87, or as they say at UofT, 8T7.
