    It looks intersting in the pic, varied lighting at different levels at dusk, but, I wonder how interesting it looks in plain old daylight.

    I prefer the power plant look currently sported by the museum.

    Veidt will be very pleased. But can you do this, like in Antarctica?

    I like it. And I say that so long as it looks interesting and sparks discussion, then build it.


    It's better than the same Soviet-era dump of architecture we have around here in the form of schools, post offii, and tract housing.

    Nice contemporary update. However, I see they are keeping the enormous phallus...er ...tower structure.

    I think it looks nicer than the Guggenheim, which looks like a big art deco toilet bowl.

    @ubmic: of course he's talking about the New York Guggenheim, which is Frank Lloyd Wright. And a classic.

    @Kaiser-Machead:


    Wright hated museums, this is common knowledge. As for Gehry--Although quite monotonous with his style--who has done made great headway for deconstruction-ism, has traditionally been appraised for his knowledge and intelligent use of materials... Something I'm sure you would know nothing about.

    @TheGerk: Wright should have stuck to home design. As for Gehry, I consider his technical contributions to architecture to be far superior to his aesthetic contributions.
