flintstones cartoon
The Flintstones similarity is exactly what I like about it. Makes it fun to look at and reminds me of the kind of buildings I would try to draw as a child. Wonderful!
wonderful! architecture now looks like egg-crates, with a lot of packaging talk to make it sound soooo profound… what non-sense level have we finally reached?
we have reached this “level” long time ago with “star”chitects like Hadid, Ghery,…
It’s not the House of Justice, it’s the Hall of Justice; home of the Justice League…
the distance between somewhat agreeable formalism and total bullsh*t is one step. This guy has consistently made two steps.
horrible architect destroying Georgia

Not very bad, I may even like it.
