Taipei Performing Arts Center proposal by Morphosis

By Sebastian J — Filed under: Cultural , ,
 

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.

This does seem better, but I bet it is also 3x more expensive.

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.

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

how many times have we seen this?
OMA is more innovative, like taking history, shuffling it with todays oma trend.
