Is it just me, or is this very similar to the Barcelona Forum by Herzog & de Meuron?
so many museums
so many tax write offs
Wow like three (museum) buildings in a row all with crazy surface patterns that have nothing to do with anything...
Three boxes on stilts with the corner pulled up.
Pulled up corners are really conservative. Refer to flat iron building in NYC. It's all glass at the corner and wrapping around the sides. It's not pulled up but conceptually it's quite similar.
All those renderings - and the night shot in particular - are a complete fantasy.
Or the effin' Broad downtown...
It's not bad - close to BIGs work just a bit less refined.
First of all, it's not work, it's a proposal. Secondly, it's a bad representation in that it will never, ever look like the renderings. And that's before addressing the merits of the proposal itself, which clearly isn't important at all.
The only question is who is most the deluded - the architect, the client or the fanboys falling over themselves with adoration?
Just curious knoa - how much does Bjarke pay you to spam this forum?
Looking at architects' portfolio, looks like they subcontracted this one to a renderer.
LOL, Miles. Looks like that person may be Bjarke's Mjother.
this museum is like an aborted liebeskind project with an interior as exciting as a social services office.
maybe they'll stick an eiffel tower on it like the americana?
Not related to BIG, but I just know a brilliant architect when I see one. Miles, and Citizen, have you done 10% of what BIG has done?
With all due respect, knoa, Bjarke's not the one being (gently) mocked....
