  • That is crazy looking. No wonder the tickets are 450 pounds. There isn't a 90 degree angle or straight edge in the entire building. What is the inspiration here? A shell? I think it's little too "natural" and futuristic for my liking.It's has a pseudo Frank Lloyd Wright design. It also reminds me of one of those creepy Johnny Depp movies- Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka, Edward Scissor Hands, etc. I love the design! :applaud: The architect was thinking outside the box with this one- literally and figuratively. In my opinion, the world has too many boxes for buildings as it is. Why do buildings have to have 90 degree angles and straight edges? :2cents:
