well, it looks better in the new renderings now that the building is seen clad in glass and metal. compared to the scaled model which were painted in black and white and had a wooden box sticking out which looked ugly (i dont know why koolhaas didnt paint that part white. too lazy?) but i still dont like the overall shape with the ball sticking out on side side held up with 2 huge pillars and slanted boxes coming out on the other sides. but it's designed by a big name foreign architect so it will definitely get global attention. and it's still better than the overall state of architecture in taiwan.
