It’s amazing how many negative emotions are displayed in these comments… C’mon people, realize that the world is more fucked up by the day, live with it, and try to make fun of it, if nothing else works…
Peace…

They are undoubtedly great architects and in general their work has been, in my opinion, exquisite but maybe they have finally jumped the shark.

From the mess of the original Tate Modern extension (admittedly redeemed in the redesign), to the vertical shanty town of 56 Leonard St, to this monstrousity, H & de M seem to be transforming themselves into the latest Meier / Gehry of repeating the same trick over and over and over (’like a monkey with a miniature cymbal’ as Hot Chip might say).

Awful.

I am struggling to understand how a building of this size can cast “virtually no shadow”. Possibly when the sun is in a certain position, the shadow might be minimised, but since the sun traverses the sky, it is extremely unlikely that no shadow is cast.
The article also claims that the building’s orientation will be optimized to maximize the advantage of solar power, however the sunlight it will be taking advantage of must come from somewhere else. The simple corollary of maximising solar harvesting is to create the largest possible shadow.
HdeM are excellent architects but this looks like a classic greenwash – do Inhabitat interrogate the press releases it receives?
