I saw Joshua Prince-Ramus speak this summer in DC. He was amazing. My favorite thing he said: "Form doesn't follow function. Form f*cks function." The more you think about it, the more sense it makes.

It made me sad to realize the Museum Plaza plans had been abandoned. It sounded like an amazing idea, but there were financial problems as well as problems during construction. I hope Joshua Prince-Ramus continues to help design incredible and beautiful functional buildings. :)

what software are used for making this presentation

@MoutainGoat 11 лет назад

studying engineering and taking architecture classes. I have a feeling a lot of that has to do with his work with no bs engineers and needing to sale to business people. just my thoughts

@leoray1234 11 лет назад

You can definitely explore the whole day...but have you ever tried to find anything? Not that easy.

Lawrence Cheek, the architecture critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, revisited the building in 2007 and found it "confusing, impersonal, uncomfortable, oppressive" on the whole, with various features "decidedly unpleasant," "relentlessly monotonous," "badly designed and cheesily detailed," "profoundly dreary and depressing," and "cheaply finished or dysfunctional," concluding that his earlier praise for the building was a "mistake."

@eksiarvamus 14 лет назад

True, it is an interesting approach, but the result is hideous, it would ruin any skyline...

There's always a critic

@Nostalg1a 3 месяца назад

@@spikezkid022 There are more critics of this expensive mess than architects that fetishize OMA's work .

"HyperRational" That's the name of my band

@authoritease 5 лет назад

"Hyper-rational" is a misnomer here, and Ramos provides no productive definition. Research + data quantification (client needs/use/program) into built form is not new, and as presented, is simply a linear, logical, if playful process. My experience in the field tells me hyper-rationality is not so preferable for design unless you're a fascist or enjoy suffocation.
