I can't imagine this building being accepted. It's terrifying and uninviting. They would have a hard time convincing confabs to hold their events in the dark matter.Right Here (http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/05/rem_koolhaas_de.html)
What a pvssy!

Hell yeah people would hold conferences there.

The neighboring emirate, Al'dher-an, is reportedly unnerved by the design.

Favourite line from the comments
"Are we sure this isn't Haliburton's new Headquarters?"

I read a few Rem Koolhaas books in college. His perspective on the development of manhattan is pretty interesting.


And...............he's building a death star.

That should be pretty obvious...

Well, reading through the comments in the article about 40 other geeks made the same joke so it didn't quite have the oomph.:plthumbsdown: :biggrin:

I laughed..... I'm sure the self medication had nothing to do with that either. ;)
