While captivating, Dezeen should have picked up on the bigger story: this museum currently stands empty in an uninhabited city extension planned for 1 million individuals.
1. Indigenous man and horse wander parched desert seeking sustenance.
2. Perplexed by appearance of context-less space-age blob.
3. Horse unimpressed.
4. Roam heat-baked plaza in search of entrance. Finally enter blob.
5. Fail to find sustenance, just generic backing music and more damned sun.
6. Depart realising the blog has nothing to offer the likes of them.
horse for scale… nice! or MAD! hehe
The white curved interior wall finish is terrible.
its nice to feel bit of craftsmanship, why smooth "digital architecture" is better? this feels more human and nature, less mechanical.
Craftmanship = a quality finish, not a patchy one. It takes skill to do a quality finish and craftsman by definition are highly skilled.
Collective Unconscious, or what do you think?
