maybe rmjm is winning because they used tchaikovsky in their video. rem used...i think that's the ER theme?! i had to turn the sound off to watch fuksas'.
h&dm gets the best video award from me. libeskind gets award for best cheesy powerpoint slide transition.
oh, the designs. if i look at them thinking 'st petersburg' instead of thinking about the individual designers' other work, i'd probably go with h&dm or [gulp] rmjm. libeskind's third.
as usual, the oma scheme would probably convince me if i heard the schtick. i never get their projects until i know what they're going after and then it's like a light-bulb moment.
video? where can i find the videos / presentations of these schemes? i could not understand the characters online and so i have no idea whihc one leads to the videos.. care to share whihc link you clicked steven? thanks ;)
Gazprom is Putin's state-controlled Russian doll.
Given his penchant for phallic symbols and autocratic delusions there's little to suggest the finalist will be awarded for holistic merit, eliminating oma altogether - they are the builders of CCTV after all and that building has more potent iconicity by far than the one they've submitted here for review, not to mention the fact that China is Russia's industrial rival. This poll is a laughable red herring, pun intended.
Using this most superficial metric the only real contenders are h&dm and rmjm. Which ever one is more suggestive of brazen virility while offering the most tantilizing corner offices for Putin's cronies wins.
If I'm wrong I'll eat my sable hat.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the Nouvel scheme is pitched.

when you see two pictures, some of the ones on the right are video or slide presentations. not all.
