Penn State Millennium Science building. I did some work there when it was under construction. It features a huge cantilevered front entrance, which is a total waste of usable space....all at the cost of tax payers.

That one is roughly a million times better than the first two.

why is this degenerate? It has a great circulation path that allows you to continuously walk around all book sections from the lobby to the top floor. The multi-height space at the west entrance is very impressive as well and connects the different levels to the lobby.

at first I used to think Gehry was degenerate but he is a victim of his success. Gehry has become a brand in architecture, that you can describe his architecture as a Gehry building. That leads to clients going to Gehry for a "Gehry" building rather than allowing him to do something he wants. Walt Disney Concert Hall is still one of the best buildings both in form and function though. The same applies to Zaha Hadid, Morphosis (to an extent but he does what he wants), and Coop Himmeblau. Jean Nouvel manages to escape this by having pretty much no signature style.

One issue I can understand that critics have of BIG is that he tends to recycle concepts and have similar looking buildings. With that said, he represents what every young architect (myself included) wants to be, successful at a young age BUT still down to earth. I heard Thom Mayne lecture a week before hearing Bjarke Ingels and I was turned off by Mayne's arrogance and use of big terminology to explain a simple concept. Bjarke explains his work in easy language terms that anyone, both architects and non-architects can understand. His work analyses the surrounding context and responds to it, though I do wish he would be more meticulous about it rather than using the same finishes. His buildings end up as large scale diagrams.

In an interview Rem describe that intent of his design as a constant tension and constant uneasy feeling from the people looking at it as a dynamic element of his design.

As for Gehry, he willfully distort and misshape his building to denote movement and energy. See Sydney Polllak documentary that have him not know the buildings circulation and basic functions and leave it to his assistant to work it out with great pain in thier part. I suspect that his decline in visual showmanship is the fact that one of his senior designer left his office.

The worst is when (((they))) infect old architecture.

Let's take a gorgeous building with a rich heritage and attach a festering tumor to it.
