Functionality of the Kinetic Facade by Jean Nouvel

VP

recently I did read again about the Arab World Institute by Jean Nouvel here:
http://blog.kineticarchitecture.net/2011/01/arab-world-institute/

Does anyone know if the kinetic facade has been fixed or still works?

I have been there 4 or 5 times and never seen the facade move...

Nope, doesn't work. I saw it last October, and many of the mechanical pieces and connectors have snapped. Seems like they're just going to leave it like that.
