I really think that is a very very strange design and i can feel that it contains a lot of mystery more than entertainment with this bad light and the black ugly color,,

david,

read a book.

…preferrably something NOT from the new age self-help section this time.

I wonder why every people must critisize the work of famous architects. Seems like everyone thinks he could do it better. Let freedom be and stop giving critics just because not everyone of us has the luck to do what he wants…

the structure seems incredibly chaotic.

This is cool because it’s not the 60’s anymore, it’s not those pure gigantic clean structure from the modernists…
also i like that it gets into a conflict with this pure form

It’s the science fiction post-post-modernism of Koolhaas

It’s right at the limit to be ridiculous, but still good.

Lord Veider…
Yes Master.
Rise somebody stole our plans.

Do we need skycars to enter the building?? that would be interesting.
At last we reached a point where we can create late 70’s science fiction buildings.

“..final attempt at distinction through architecture…”

What, the Death Star? How arrogant!

You know, get it built without the posing and many of us would probably dig it, mybe even laugh WITH you. Put on the pretentious act and you deserve what you’re getting here, to be laughed AT.

“This project represents a final attempt at distinction through architecture: not through the creation of the next bizarre image, but through a return to pure form.”

What, the Death Star?

“Final attempt?” How arrogant! You know, get it built without the B.S. and many of us would probably dig it, mybe even laugh WITH you. Put on the pretentious crap act and you deserve what you’re getting here, to be laughed AT.

it seems to have only taken 30 years before deliriousness could become reality. pretty amazing that he has, for all of his convoluted theories and contradictory designs, been able to maintain the dream of building the “sphere” since his days at the AA. now if he can only manage to get a communist painter to fresco the foyer…
