FOA's, Foster's, Holl's and even BRT's proposals look very CCTVesque. Well at least from what I can see in the small thumbnails.
With all their looping, cantilevering and 'skewing' of the masses.
So it seems like OMA did invent a new skyscraper typology.
Although to be fair, Holl's building does look very much like all of his previous work.
an interesting point Ludwig. But now that you have mentioned Holl's past work with connecting high rise buildings - I wonder if the patent Koolhaas has on these skyscaper forms (see Wired - Beijing Manifesto) should be past on to Holl, as he is the rightful first instigator of this device.
Yes, I agree.
I wonder if somebody has written something about formal similarities between OMA and Holl before?
