Nic [now aka Miss Representation]:
I know the Crate & Barrel building/store you ask of (I was in it earlier this year), but I don't know who designed it. You're right, it is a fine design, and really "works" well and looks good in its "unique" context. I was taken there specifically by one of my friends because he (as a non-architect) really liked the design. He said, "I want a house that looks like that."
I'm just now becoming regularly familiar with the whole King of Prussia Mall environment, so I'm no "expert". So far what I like about the place more than anything is the rolling hill terrain--sometimes all "all natural" and sometimes all "human-made". I also like the "not planned mish-mash" mostly because it seems to work OK. I've been meaning to go photograph the whole place for a couple of years now.
Another thing I've noticed so far is that the Mall environment is really the town center now. It's not just shopping, but lots of busy restaurants and bars all the time, business offices, gyms, movie theaters, etc., etc.--everything except churches, municipal buildings, and places to live.
