very well said, totally agree

this thing is somewhere between trying to hard (unconventional for the sake of it) and not trying hard enough (its a very lazy design, give me a piece of paper a pencil and 20sec i could design something just like it)

It makes me feel sad for the poor structural engineers who have to dedicate months and years of their lives to actually making this monstrosity work, and at the end of the day get paid considerably less than the architect who sketched it out before breakfast.
