Yeah - it's hard to find a client who is willing to pay for something like that. Though I have to agree they aren't always good looking. :/ Or they overuse an idea a la Frank Gehry so it just ends up being stupid. -_- I didn't realise that Zaha Hadid was one for so long. :o I actually really like her work.
Yeah... not only the building itself, but construction must have cost a lot. :/ I wonder if it's really worth it sometimes, for the amount of disruption that building something like that can cause... ah, the joys of over reliance on CAD programmes.
Indeed, those are my sentiments too. That guy is seriously overrated. xD;
Well, there's only so much you can work with in architecture I guess - if you don't reinvent you are stuck with being a "follower" of a certain school, so to speak. :/
I approve. 8D
Ah, ok, next time I go to the manga shop I will take a look for you! :o
It's a personal thing, but I prefer old buildings to new. If I was an architect, I'd use ideas from old churches etc and have the building built with stones and have statues and carvings everywhere. XD

Isn't it just? XDDDD
