This thing is a pretty inspired response to the program, and appropriate for its context. It's a piece of urban furniture, hardly rubbish. How wrong I believe you are.

Bit of a shame the execution has a few loose ends, but overall - the people love it. the stairway to no-where they call it. Bloody excessive cost however for what it is (that's what happens though when you have so many stakeholders wrangling the thing in different directions).

The tickets windows seem quite close to the adjacent road. Anyone wants to elaborate how the ticket sale actually works when there are hundreds of people lining up before tickets sale at 2pm I believe....

Well done to all involved + esp to the competition winning architects Choi Ropiha.... the only architects i know who can go surfing at lunch time and still win international competitions.
