logodawg Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Good Lord, Why?! Looks like something that a three year old would make with his blocks. Modern architecture is in a sad state of affairs. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

Mings Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Looks like a Rem Koolhaas design to me. However if that an at least partly publically funded building it won't fly and will get changed. I don't really like it. They are doing something like this without the towers as the new media center/Chinese Cable building in Beijing for the Olympics. If you want to see off the way architecture, watch in 2008. If you go to the Beijing Olympics site (Click here), you can see some renderings.

Phil Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I don't know, but I don't think its a glimpse into the future. Seems to be an extraordinarily inefficient use of space and resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markar14 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 although not a skyscraper, it reminds me of a building off of the Highway in Schaumburg, IL that I think used to be HQ for Palm and 3Com and I think US Robotics-- very cool architecture when it's only 6-7 stories high....can't find a picture though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 that building doesnt look like it would be structurally sound. Bad design asthetically, and also a potentially unsafe design. US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 That's one hideous building. You have an article that explains any of the logic behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, this isn't the one-- I actually found it, it's in Arlington Heights just northeast of Schaumburg:The pics don't do it justice; from the highway the building looks like its side walls are tipping forwards in some places. and inwards in other spots.

How is that an efficient use of space?Are they playing jenga with the building? Not to mention the money that would be wasted. I can't see I businessman with two brain cells would look at that and say "Wow, what a great use of an expensive downtown lot!" I once had a car but I crashed it.

Mings Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Actually if you look closer, the building will be flipping off the state of Indiana. Maybe the guy is a big UK fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
