	Wexner Center for the Arts by Peter Eisenman and Richard Trott
		The Wexner is named after donor Leslie H. Wexner, founder of the Limited, Inc. retail chain, a man preternaturally active in the city’s philanthropic affairs.
		The Wexner is also blessed with a site-specific work by Maya Lin, "Groundswell," and terrific landscaped gardens, by landscape architect Laurie Olin, to the north and west of the building.
		Unfortunately, the firm’s landscaping of the eastern, main entrance to the building was too vast and hardscaped to be welcoming to anyone but skateboarders and people who ride bikes that are too small for them, and these groups dominate the entry to the point of unfriendliness.
