wow...surprisingly uninspiring and formulaic from OMA...but hey..it's a winner...

when i followed the bustler link to the other entries, i was also diappointed (though i am shocked to say that I liked the "hard candy" entry the best...)

i dunno... there is something elusively appealing about this project. it may be one of the better urban projects OMA does.

maybe it's cos JPR left, and REM's a little subdued, but it lacks the in-your-face crappiness of a lot of OMA projects.
