It would get very windy in there! But the investigation of space as a major public space surrounded by smaller, more private areas is impressive. It is interesting also that all circulation is visible to the viewer from the ground floor.

i dont think that any of the selected architects paid much attention to the projects.. not even one is good or at least has good concepts… sad

[...] Arts Center design was finally won by OMA. However, we already feature other two proposals. One by NL Architects, other by Ábalos + Sentkiewicz. Now, we bring you the futuristic design by Morphosis [...]

@casarotta
i totally agree with you. i assume however, that most of the comments are not from architects. (or at least i hope so.)
actually i still see a great potential in these form of dispute or critique of buildings presented in blogs, but i realize every day that just a few of the comments exhibit some
serious thinking or deeper analysis.
i wouldn’ t give so much importance to this architecture blogging phenomena as it still remains very very superficial.

but this is just my opinion.

This earlier (1997) specultaion from NL arhcitects is worth looking at.

A different scheme altogether but it does show a similiar grand atrium and ‘colossal baldachin’ to their Taipei Performing Arts entry and which pre-dates OMA’s – Hamburg Science Centre and Aquarium.

I’d love to see the lifts moving around the building. It reminds me of some utopian film scenario… and I’m not sure yet if that’s good. By the way, am I mistaken, or there are actually horizontally-moving “lifts” on the upper floors?

Hahahahaa, this project makes me laugh… but actually it makes me laugh less than the rest of the competition projects! HAHAHAHA!!!!

But comparisons with Zollverein are very superficial. The Sanaa project is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more sophisticated than this.

it is a wonderful architectural form, not sure about how it can act as a building, so i agree with the critics.
The one thing i find of interest here is the way the space is created: the blur between the interior and the exterior. although this concept is not new (e.g. Kurokawa) it’s articulation is most impressive.

because we only get to see the exterior images not the plan. I think OMA strongest point is their innovation on the plan and the spaces inside. They try to push in new and unique experience of each project they do. Like the new wyly theatre.

anyway,

this project. can’t imagine what’s inside those cubes.. and only 1500 and 800 seatings? and what’s all those square holes anyway?

i don’t understand how all the architects here can comment an architecture using the words: “i like it” “amazing” etc ect…a real architect should understand a project first, understand the process guides of a project, look through the pictures understanding what there is behind an image…We live in a sociaty without culture, architecture is a culture product so we should start to be architects not fruiteres, because just a fruiteres should say in front of an architecture:”i like it, is cool”
