i just think all evry1 as said is just due to their love for architecture n d fear dat d architecture we all love,dream n adore shud nt just b rule by graphics n some pple tryin2 play wiv shape bt instead shud b somtin dat comes frm within,something dat is don coz of d love n wot architecture really stands 4. bt frm my point of view i feel the daniel libeskind design had more concept, human consideratn,environmental consideratn n had d basis of architecture in hear. as much as i will try nt 2 damage anyones idea coz am sure it took evry architect dat performd in dis project great deal of work 2 come by their various designs all i wud say is LoNG LIVE DECONSTRUCTIVSM FORM OF ARCHITECTURE

I am afraid that the development of technology has lost its purpose long time ago… Nevertheless, “Form Follows function” is a very wise principle that the ultimate architect (nature), never forgets.

Indeed there were so many off branches to interpreting modernism by the end of the 20th Century, the tempo of change was so swift that minds had difficulty keeping pace with its artists and scientist. But the spirit behind ‘modernism’ still remains today. The idea that modern materials, technology and innovations opens up new possibilities and freedom in how we build our buildings, live our lives continues to play center stage our society today. We are a society that is fundamentally optimistic and believes in progressiveness. And this is all remnants we inherited from the modernism.

Striking aesthetics but unfortunately ephemeral; in 20 years time will look rubbish… Zaha overvalues the function of the “looks”… which is always related to vogue, just like clothing (of the developed world). Who knows what is the true personality of this building… ?

“Sad thing is that these cities all think they’re getting a unique piece or architecture when in actual fact it’s just another expensive blob produced by a factory”
well I think taht house whwrw I live looks the same as house in some italian city – the same 4 facades and corners-Zaha makes something diferent.

i liked it, the shape itself its inspiring and seems futuristic in a way. But i think i liked the proposal that daniel libeskind did , its not just a design, but it has that sort of poetic flow to it. and i think a building should carries a certain character that activates emotions to ppl who actually use that building, more over its an art musuem….art is always emotionally moving.

Generally I like most of ZHA buildings. But are all those buildings really zaha?

hadid’s first unique buildings came out of her Malevich inspired paintings. The buildings of that period aren’t blob-like.

The last years (after the building of science center in wolfsburg), hadid style has evolved to the modelling of these G3 curvature surfaces.

Hadid had stopped making paintings for her projects as long as these spaces cannot be conceived in the 2d canvas. All these aesthetic shapes come out of software modelling packages. She had confess several times that she doesn’t use the computer. So, she is something less than a maestro.

Of course, i do not expect to design all the projects in detail. Also i know that the same thing happens in most of the big design studios…
But other figures (even less computationally progressive) such as Ben Van Berkel, know how to use 3ds max or Topsolid even if they do not use it in everyday workflow. Undoubtly the computer is an integral part in the process of the so called “liquid” architecture.

After all, do all these designs belong to zaha?
Is zaha such a pioneer in experimental architecture any more?

There are many small firms that practice computational architecture worldwide and their principals generally know how to use this machine.

This is the real revolution of software in architecture…

On the plus side, at least Libeskind was made to look like the turd he is by losing another competition.

It cracks me up every time I remember that this clown had to hire Alex Gorlin to design his little apartment in Manhattan. If that doesn’t tell you that Ttudio Libeskind is full of brainless #D CAD Monkeys with no other skills,m I don’t know what will. What a bunch of pretentious idiots they are!

Take a look at the video on YouTube, the interiors are VERY interesting, there are light incidence studies, and it shows how program is solved through the interiors.

hello .
We can design our mind.
but we don’t think for all of mind & work by some this.
Are you can think for all of this massage.
goodluck.
