Impress us with cost efficacy, function and environmentalism -- not more endless combinations of non-right-angled geometry. ( nice pop-culture references, aside). This crap is purely ego driven on both the client-side and architect-side -- and it's one more example of excess liquidity sloshing around the world. Of course, Rem and the gang always have a handy "no, but this is still Bauhaus" justfication of their design vis a vis functionality -- which is invariably a bullsh*t ex-post-facto justification of their creative masturbation. This stuff is such a yawn. And so is Rem. I’m so tired of this school of modern architecture.
