The Taipei Performing 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 Architects.
More information about the proposal here. Images after the break.
Golconde: The Introduction of Modernism in India

way better than the winner.
WAAAAYYYYYY BETTER THAN OMAS!!! DAAAMMM!!!
OMA IS REALLY GOING TO THE DARK SIDE!! AND WITH THEM THE JUDGES THAT GIVE OMA ALL THIS AWESOME PROJECTS.
MUCHISIMO MEJORES PROPUESTAS DE MORPHOSIS EN ESTE CASO QUE LA DE KOOLHAAS, ES UN MAESTRO REM PERO LA VERDAD ULTIMAMENTE HACE PURAS PORQUERIAS Y AUN ASI GANA. TRISTE!
This does seem better, but I bet it is also 3x more expensive.
seems like a nasty crash from outer space
Nasty crap…like Gehry’s work…
I prefer the NL Architect work
this proposal is so SHAPY. oma’s proposal is a revolutionary proposal that explore how to make a new space for a Performing Arts Center with the combination of different spaces that can be joined together.
uuuhhhh, excuse me Mr. Marcos. You really need to pick up a book, because OMA’s winning proposal, was a really bad caricature of an “OMA” project. There was nothing revolutionary about it…
Actually mr. mCaton, i worked for OMA for a long time, so i know more than well all the OMA’s project…also the projects that they never published, so you never saw in a book. I still believe that architecture have to Be Intelligent at first, and not only be crazy, blobby, sexy, shapy.
wellll Mr Marcos,,,,maybe you are being a bit bioist ,,,I agree that there is no inovativity in this oma project,,,,
marcos:
you worked for OMA? how was the pay and the environment? i’m planning to work there soon as i graduate. your answer will be much appreciated.
i like OMA’s approach in design. they really don’t push to make ultra-flashy architecture (form-wise). instead, they seem to struggle for spatial rebellion – more of like tackling the real problems and giving equally real and profound solutions by introducing new programs and spatial experiences.
oh btw, im only a sophomore.
OMA’s office is really good. the enviroment is very nice and the salary is ok, but you will stay in the office 16 hours/day weekend included
good luck
You guys are full of yourselves. I agree with mCaton.
how many times have we seen this?
OMA is more innovative, like taking history, shuffling it with todays oma trend.
y are u guys defending the archis as if they are ur parents or as if these are ur own proposals…. take it easy folks…. some like the fleshy…. some prefer boxes… what’s the big deal?…
Thank you for your help!
There is evidently a lot for me to discover outside of my books. Thanks for the great read,
