“However, there are rumors now saying it may get built, thanks to a popular Facebook group supporting the project.”

Another reason to hate Facebook.

for all the people saying it looks ugly i have one question… Are you Zaha Hadid fans?

Looking at the sections, the building seems quite exciting, and makes for interesting spaces.

architecture’s concern shouldn’t be whether it looks good or not.

well guys, everybody can have their own opinion on this project, but that´s not what is controversial or scandalous about it. the thing is that this is a winner of an internation competition, which had about 700 participants, it was chosen by a regular jury (zaha was a member for example) and was supposed to be realized as such. the scandal is what happened afterwards… the intervention of the politicians who slowly burried this whole project with lousy excuses and dirty methods…

Actually, I read the description on the FUTURE SYSTEMS site, and the form is in reference to Baroque architecture in Prague. Haha.

Simon, we don’t have a concept statement here, and I’m too busy to find one, but I think this project might be about the lack of respect for the context. I like that thought actually.

Where are the intentions here? where is the respect for the context or which is the position of the proyect with the place?
