Frankly he is smoking something funny and laced with crack or something. I have to say, I am all about progressive architecture, but there is an extent that it becomes... well, trashy. And why the hell do you need to 'dress" a building?!?! LMAO I hope the city planners trash this idea.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...

When I saw the rendering I thought somebody had enlarged a photograph of the wastebasket from a kindergarten classroom.

I like to think I'm fairly open-minded. This, for example, I like:

But that Yonkers thing--how would you like to have home somewhere that forced you to see it every time you looked out the window?

oh good god

as if we needed more evidence that contemporary architects have gone off the deep end

^ Don't blame all contemporary architects just because one did fall off the deep end.

Revitalise the area? If they build that montrosity, I think not. Not a fan of this style of architecture. I like it about as much as I like late 60's brutalism...done tastefully, and in very small quantities.

Oh God...

VA_Gentleman · #30 Posted **Apr 6, 2007, 12:03 PM**

Worst. Architect. Ever.

^^^The question: Somebody has to hire him to design their building. Why do they do it?

samne · #34 Posted **Apr 6, 2007, 6:36 PM**

Height and colour are out of scale Yonkers. Limit to the height to the smokestacks and natural colours to nature and friendly it up.

I have no idea.

I would show you some of the other stuff he is working on but his website seems to have turned into Kelly Osbournes underwear draw.

Alsop doesn't sound English. What ethnicity is he?

Rizzo · #37 Posted **Apr 6, 2007, 7:48 PM**

I'm up for leading edge architecture, but this design is just out-right horrible. This type of shit should be banned from the design-boards even!

Hoodrat · #38 Posted **Apr 8, 2007, 6:28 PM**

Thats just wrong...

Holy shit, and I thought Frank Gehry's work was ostentatious and self absorbed...
