Because of dezeen,i start to focus on the architecture design from everywhere.

Just like this one,spectacular and grandiose,i like this feel.

I like it!
In fact, I think I might know someone that’s working on this building right now. =)

And to Desmond: yes, it’s actually very close to the new downtown area.

Koolhaas’s architecture works better at a medium scale and small scale for the most part. its only there where he gets enough density that his architecture soars. seattle, educatorium, dutch embassy, etc. pretty much all his large projects except CCTV suffer from a lack of a complexity and density, which is what he claims to be instigating in the first place.

Koolhas is running out of good ideas, so he just criticises everything else instead in the meantime.

the seattle public library was great. i just hope they dont mess up the circulation again, making it difficult to get from the spiral to the internet level. the elevators are hot, but you shouldn’t be forced to take them down from the top.

its hard to do a judge with just one image. but I like the building so far (but I prefer the seattle public library).

so, in order to get one of these things up, in a contest one must only care about arguments?

is an argument a fact or an opinion?

is this a treehugger friendly building?

The image looks as the triumph of strategic thinking, where form or beauty are far from being the objectives, and in a way it looks as a sort of fantastic lobby of an utopian OMA´S high rise project, in which every floor is filled with past projects (first floor seattle, second floor universal, third floor any typical plan-junkspace generic new york building).
I also agree with Mr. Tim here, Remment´s language is splashed with deep irony, it´s so commercial you wouldn´t believe it, but then again, the guy (Remment) is, quite frankly, inhabiting another planet, so please don´t try to even grasp what´s behind that apparently shallow discourse, it may well be “…so outrageous that in order for it to be realized it could never be openly declared.” (excerpt from he back cover of delirious ny).
I also think, Mr. Tim, that it would be a foolish act to describe things literally, in a scientific manner, if somebody tells you “this is a chicken:c-h-i-c-k-e-n” you are being insulted, and if you get mad because of the simplistic tone of it, you may also have some attitude issues. The silence, the untold, implies the inteligence of the other: be aware.
