I found this building to absolutely have no sensibility to it’s surrounding, and to have very aggressive-dull impact on it. All in all I think it’s a failure.

Très beau projet.
Bonne et pertinante réponse sur une parcelle assez difficile…

One of their worst projects. They do like to experiment with facades that usually dont corespond to the plans and sections, but this time they did make a failure.

I agree, MZ. The comment seems to imply little more than personal, subjective dislike. We are left wondering if the critic has ever seen some of the developer-driven EIFS
postmodernist jobs built all over the USA, if he calls this
the worst he’s seen.

This building rigidly abides by the height, massing, and
urban-plan logic of its context. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. However, the highly unusual and provocative “restrained” grammar of the skin seems to be turning many
people off.

Perhaps if one doesn’t like the skin, present some arguments as to why you think it doesn’t work?

I don’t understand the significance of the stealth plane (has it been developed there?), but I do like the modest nature the architecture assumes. From the aerial photographs, it took me a few seconds to actually locate the building: it fits well with its surroundings on that scale.

I would have liked to see a shot of the common courtyard (it was important enough to include it in the description) and the pedestrian space underneath.

“Finds its logic in the geometry of stealth planes”? Oh come on. Far from being “silent”, this building screams “shallow” and “inappropriate”.

meni se ovo sviđa. moderno je i lijepo a uklapa se u okoliš što nije bilo nimalo lako napraviti.

By the way, I completely agree with you Yorik.

Maybe this building doesn’t make a statement, but I think it melts on the surrounds in a ver appropiated way.

Being silent can be a quality too, especially when we are getting used to see the buildings (and the architects!!) screaming their presence.

One might call this “awful” or “ugly”, but I see several interesting things:
- Several architects, including many well-known, are trying the “volume wrapped in a skin” concept these days, and this one is really not the worst of them, at least here it makes sense because it is like “wrapping” part of the old building
- In whole Europe there is the very hard question of how to behave in historical contexts, do you really need to mimic older stuff in order to avoid “disrupting” the “harmony”? I think this project is a sensitive tentative to give a contemporary answer, because it is low-profile and strong at the same time
- Of course we should see more of the project, but the first picture gives me a feel of modernist architecture which is something I like much in Eastern Europe countries because it is still regarded with consideration there.

Perhaps the worst piece of architecture i’ve seen.
