I think this is a fair summation of what was a lecture of two halves. The first half a reasonable summary of Eisenmann's position and opinion on modern architecture in the past 50 years (because after all, he is the self-proclaimed "oldest teaching architect alive"); the second half was more troubling, an attempt to justify the most obscene, unsustainable, arrogant piece of starachitecture I've seen in some time. A mountain has been removed, some dubious 'pilgrim routes' overlaid on the usual Eisenman grid and some very unlikely programmes suggested for the tricksy internal spaces. Genius loci? I don't think so.
