Next thing you know, he'll end up having a column inside a toilet cubicle, but hey, who cares, the building looks great!I remember OMA did a project a long, long time ago where there was column in the middle of an entrance, and after that my respect went way down, because i thought it was cleverness over just being plain old sensible..... this project is bland….one of the things that irk me is how the structual columns just end up in the middle of the room, or to one side (in a gallery space???), which is stupid…. anyone can build a building any shape they want if you really don’t care where the columns go, just as long as your ‘interesting’ shaped design can stand up.

They're saying, "Look! With these obvious moves, we get the best building ever. I mean, why didn't you think of that!?" In all, the result is a one-liner, that to me is pretty boring. However, I've seen no interior perspectives, so what do I know. Could be cool when not looking at it on the outside.

However, the latest council meeting Greenberg indicated they did not know when they would get financing but they had until 2011 to get it. 2011 was the expected completion date and the city has a contract (I don't know the details)if I recall states it has to be completed by this time not started. The bonds have not been issued and will not until financing has been secured. Additionally, a couple liens have been placed on the project by contractors due to the concern of the project failure. At any point the city can revoke the bonds allotted and put the project under. I have also heard that Poe is pulling out of the project but doing it quietly. When you really look at the project it cannot and will not generate the revenue initially predicted regardless of the economy. I really wish this would go through.

OMA has several partners who take actual and superlative responsibility in the design and development of the projects with which they are in charge. Joshua Prince Ramus was one of such partners. Being american, he was in charge with the projects OMA was developing in USA. When they ended their partnership, they came to the agreement that OMA's office in USA, led by Prince Ramus, was going to keep the contracts for the projects "in process". That office then was named REX. For all of you confused on whether this is a project by Rem Koolhaas, here is the answer.
