People are even discussing the definition of architecture itself!! I think we've all fallen into the game: these things have been done to trigger discussions, test reactions, take positions (classical vs. postmodern, architecture vs. art, etc.) I find that much more valuable than just building another boring middle-class house; zaha is really pushing the edge in architectural thinking, and this discussion is proof of it!

However, this is NOT architecture nor design. This is sculpture, something Ms. Hadid is quite comfortable with. Her attempts at architecture are mediocre to be kind. It still amazes me that a complete jury gave her the Pritsker. Architecture can (should?) be sculptural, not the other way around. Lovely shape and conceptual juxtaposition.
