Too big a burden for the scale of the fire station.Nice idea but not sufficient aistheticaly. A lower shape, more like a slice, couldn’t match better? Ending with a grid zone on top, witch can be the filter of the reflections and the iteraction of the building and the sky. I don’t want to be roud just workholic.

Steps to have a shocking new building: (according to Alsop, Foster, Libeskind, etc. and now Hadid)

1. Find a solid old building that people like.
2. Create a jagged shape or colorful box, something you're mom wouldn't understand.
3. Throw a model of your object at a model of the old building until it becomes perched in some awkward way or impales the old building.
4. Done, start construction.

Failed imagination–no architecture should so lack comfort that it demands an analogy. Insects, boats, dogs, an old man on the comode, an enraged penis–such a visual dissonance stumps even our primordial gift for pattern-recognition.
