wow...surprisingly uninspiring and formulaic from OMA...but hey..it's a winner...
when i followed the bustler link to the other entries, i was also diappointed (though i am shocked to say that I liked the "hard candy" entry the best...)
i dunno... there is something elusively appealing about this project. it may be one of the better urban projects OMA does.
maybe it's cos JPR left, and REM's a little subdued, but it lacks the in-your-face crappiness of a lot of OMA projects.
looks like trump tower without the tower^^
Dear Aspect, do you say: Its like a Strumpf Tower or Trump Tower? No the Strumpf is the gay from the city who announced that the winner is the Strumpf Rem originary from the Strumpf City...oh sorry I am toking about another strompfed competition for the Box City! Ha, ha!
