THE GLASS SAIL

Transparence
The glass canopy at the New Milan Trade Fair has set new standards in architecture.

 

Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas's ambitious project is an impressive structure. The new complex is characterised by an undulating glass and steel roof, which is more than 30m high at some points. The new Milan trade fair is one of Europe's biggest exhibition grounds. It is a magnificent and colossal structure occupying 530,000sqm of floor space, with eight pavilions and only 12 pillars. Its construction was completed in little more than two years, which given the size and intricacy of the project is a record of sorts. http://www.transparence.in

That website looks very similar to the those for Doritos or MountainDew, circa 1998. It's about a step above the comic sans-laden geocities sites of the same era.


Stop pimping your site here.

The bling reminds me more of myspace.  Here is a google link for anyone actually wanting to see project photos:
