It's a breath of life and coolness in a harsh and hot climate. And what is it with all the people in here talking about architects' egoes? Archotecture has always been about ego. Every architect wants to put his or hers stamp on the place they build, and it's bullshit to pretend otherwise. Now, of course one has to consider the land, the environment, the users of the building, bla bla bla, all of this is just too obvious. Some people obviously find it so hard to realize that our world is moving on and that architecture and design are taking on new forms, much because it is possible. This is in no way bad! It has always been this way. Don't you think the Romans built buildings that pushed the limits of their engineering capabilities? Where would we be today if we only were to build what is safe and familiar? Architecture moves forward by pushing limits, and that is exactly what projects like this one do. And Zaha Hadid, for that matter, as I see that so many in here can't seem to appreciate her work. This building is just so beautiful! It’s a breath of life and coolness in a harsh and hot climate.
