Well, welcome to globalization of pop architecture. Organic or not, architecture fails when it fails to recognize regional sensibilities and becomes an excercise on paper. Thats why contemporary architects are nowhere near the masters of yesteryear. Holl sucks when compared to Alto, and so does Zaha. All this becuase cybermodeling has made it easy to dwell on the abstract and ephemeral than on that which is humanistic and cognizant of the horizontal plane that we dwell on.

This is way beyond Modern Architecture and I am not sure it is going anywhere even though it is formally very attractive. “Form follows function” is totally absent even if the shape is quite interesting. As some have said, the building’s structure is totally cubic. Seems like “anything goes” and it is impossible to critique on any level. Is architecture “shape” just a fancy envelop or a lot more?

The interior spaces look spectacular, must be quite dramatic moving through them. I imagine you would get a real sense of anticipation and intrigue approaching the buildings from the outside… pity about the finishing but i bet its worth visiting for the feeling of the spaces?
