This building is COOL or NOT COOL?

Hi Guys,

I'm curious what is your opinion for this building:

for me this is unusual and cool but a lot friends say this look terrible :D

I'm really curious what is your opinion?

it depends... where is this?

For the record, I hate yellow and sea-foam green, so on that basis alone: it's terrible.

Trying too hard, in my opinion. There's no order. Things like this work when there's a rigid system with a few purposefully broken rules. There are no rules here to counterbalance the randomness. 

Everything is screaming, so nothing stands above the noise.

And the colors are just horrid.

not cool, it is the building equivalent of exposing your genitals in public.

I hate those balconies so much. They're not even a functional size. Totally ruins an otherwise acceptable project.

I suppose denmark is into these sort of things, they've got plenty of such projects. What do we even label this style as? #tooedgyforme

They're just boring boxes sliced at different angles with not enough randomness and too much repetition to be considered playful, also what's with only two colours and exactly those two? Go all the way or simply monochrome. Would look much better as béton brut also.

Another weak and unimaginative variation on MVRDV's WoZoCo

If the word "cool" is being used to describe it, you've probably already established as of little value.  

Cool is a temporary thing.  People look, say "cool", then move on. It doesn't beg further study.

I appreciate the effort, but it lacks finesse. The forms don't feel flushed out and the detailing isn't subtle. Better than some, worse than others.

It's cooler than is this:

I agree with randomized too, though. It could go further and be more interesting.

Its main problem is the Dryvit/stucco/plaster/whatever it is surface looks cheap, and always will.

Even only brick could be nice, like A-Lab did in Oslo:

As much as we'd like to think otherwise, our field is incredibly subjective. Buildings that are great to some are trash to others. It all depends on what criteria you are using to judge it.

@Donna really? You like this Pikachu, better than the Elbphilharmonie? Also agree re: the béton brut version...
