Your opinion.

it could look better if it was executed better

i like the wood

Here's a fact: those "thinking pods" would be uncomfortable as hell for an adult to sit in

this is fucking cracker shit

ass tier degenerate design

@Cody Exected better in what way? Curious about your thoughts on this.

I would like to see a more classical design on the building

something like how british parliament looks

i mean the inside would be shaped by the outside

and how the inside is themed

it would be fine

Unpopular Opinion: the Houses of Parliament aren’t that good looking.

A very broad statement, to be sure.

Enric Miralles, Santa Caterina Market, 2005

Really appreciate this architect's work with wood

The whole structure appears to be a rich tapestry, folded across Barcelona streets.

Ok one last picture, just look at this column formwork. Incredible.

this is fucking shit architecture

you have awful taste

@Cyboman Not an argument.

@Kazimir Malevich Its interesting how different some of these become when viewed from different angles. The interior and exterior make a highly cohesive statement in the Santa caterina market for example and provide a modern twist on the larger theme of the city. From above however I wonder if the statement might not be too bold in the contrast it provides. I’d be interested in your perspective on this.

Bathhouse rooftop

cool

Montaza Palace, Alexandria, Egypt

Good stuff, especially the first one.

@CronoSaturn This difference is exactly why I like Miralles, that and his work with timber on the facades. In terms of statement, it's a bit difficult to say, since the building presents itself differently to the visitors and the public at large. The majority of the people don't actually see the colourful roof, so one could detach the purposes achieved from the architecture of the interiour and the roof design.

Hope I worded that properly.

@Kazimir Malevich do you enjoy the asthetics of medieval wood and Dirt fortresses
