Hi
I se it different, I se how this all ended in surface thinking and forgetting about the structure, the whole idear the baseic crafted technology that produce the whole.
I just visited the Liebskind exebition here in copenhagen, and I feel bad. Bad becaurse this architect have no respect for vasting huge volumes producing angles plywood walls on a base of a tradisional wooden plank meshwork, as if this was scene art in a theater.
Geometrics that fill up a lovely old house , with no respect or thought about the values now hidden by weak surface thinking experssive angled walls making you dizzy or atleast if you have a hands-on background, force you to check behind the lame reality of hollow plywood boxwork ; guess what, there are nothing but somthing that need to be covered.
Forget about the language of academic tolerance, but please ask yourself what to call this kind of archi-interiour ; will this be what hold the WTC together we need no planes to se the lack of structural expression or idear, it all be surface with , from my point of view, no clue or Vision about an ansver that shuld bring new jobs, a new form language or a promise of a bright future.
Pop architecture must be adaptive architecture , now try combine two of those and se if you can build a highrise from this idear.
