The concept design for the Ueberseequartier in Hamburg, by the Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and Erick van Egeraat, has been finalized. Rem Koolhaas has proposed an amazing new Science Center, that looks like an amethyst. Eikongraphia | HafenCity.
I really love Rem's designs but I have to admit that as is the case with many architects the "ego" often seems to get the better of them. This museum appears to demand a lot of attention in exchange for what could have been integrated into it's environment.

once again, i'm sure i won't 'get it' until the book comes out.
Geologist nerd correction. The object in question is a geode. The crystal growth is amethyst which is the purple variety of quartz.
