I have no doubt though that tourists will flock to it, which i suppose is the point.

This firm has always been known for clean lines and innovative materials... and I'm not seeing any of that here. I know that we all want to remain current and relevant, but I don't think this means that we should leave all the lessons of the past behind us. I just don't understand why H&deM are forgetting all of the clarity of their past work in favor of an attempt at something popular. I feel like they are trying to be something they just aren't, and its evident in this disastrous project. All I can ask is why?
