    These are getting old. They're nothing but BS. We've seen more then two dozen of these crap projects that will NEVER see the light of day.

    That's only because you insist on shoving these wondrously fanciful projects up where the sun don't shine. Right next to your head.

    I might like the original Steve Holl design if it didn't look like a game of Jenga about to go very, very bad.


    And the followup 3XN version looks like a standard rectangular office building with its life force being horribly siphoned away.


    So, I'm with Curves on this one: Neither.

    The chances of getting someone like myself who is afraid of heights to walk that bridge without the use of a gun are pretty slim. I will catch a cab and face city traffic before I get on that walkway.

    My question is this. For the exorbitant cost of this what does it offer in return? Does it improve business, generate power to help offset the carbon footprint of the building, or is it just an aesthetic? Seems impractical, expensive and a complete waste. Not too mention an extremely dangerous walkway.

    @WilCon: Well, we are currently discussing their building for one, so it definitely fills a marketing purpose. It will probably also draw some tourism to the area. All the attention will probably draw some pretty large tenants, making the space easier to lease for possibly higher rent. Your argument forgets that aesthetics is one of the functions of a building.

    "I can't help but to feel like the US isn't exactly pioneering the new era of remarkable architecture."


    Were we EVER a pioneer in architecture? I always thought that the same lack of innovation that killed our auto industry also existed in our architecture.

    @ILikeMacsWhatAboutIT: You should see the History Channel's documentary on the City of New York and how the make up of the land (sub-terranian, mostly) makes NYC what it is today - both above and below ground. Lots of modern (for the time) architecture was pioneered in NYC.


    Very interesting, really.

    @Gann: This particular documentary went all the way back to the initial settlement of the land - before it became NYC.


    Chicago has some amaaaaazing architecture, no doubt. This documentary just didn't touch on it. If you could cross the messy geological/construction logistics and architecture, that's kinda what the documentary hit on.


    Chicago's badass though. :)

    OF COURSE its not in Dubai! 380 Feet? Maybe for the slaves that make the skyscrapers, but no oil-soaked Dubain (sp?) would right call such a minuscule structure their home.
