that looks better than the EMP in Seattle, which is a crime against architecture.

that building looks like a jellyfish or something. as someone who works for a large architecture firm, its absolutely the ugliest thing I have seen all year.

i like all these, including neue's.
i love to be surprised.
90% of the architecture out there doesn't move me or even bore me.

btw that toronto building reminds me of http://utopia.ision.nl/users/utr… in rotterdam.

yeah, i was there a few months ago by accident. i looked up in awe.
btw. studio dumber is located in that street as well no? is it the same building? would be nice to have your office on the top floor. ;)

same street different building (assuming you meant dumbar ;)
image having your classes on the top floor, it must be hard to pay attention with a view over rotterdam like that

lucky basterds!
but now i finally get it. i always wondered why it faced away from rotterdam in the direction of the harbour.

he's the ultimate postmodernist.
reminds me of a simpsons episode...
"its pomo!"
"what?"
"postmodern!"
"what?"
"you know, weird for the sake of weird."
"oh."at least gaudî owned the fact that he was embellishing and decorating and sculpting... gehry actually thinks these forms have meaning and are derived from a well-thought out idea.

well I like most of what he does but this just looks like he got inspiration from a pile of used tissues
