It annoys me to know these famous and award winning architects couldn't come up with a better inspiration for their buildings. I mean taking shapes literally from surroundings is one of the most basic concepts u can come up with. It was what we used to do way back in college.... And yet these guys push through with these design. Also reminds me of eisenman's design for a colosseum which was inspired from a cactus 🤦♂️
As I note the video, even if the design process led you to this, at some point you say, "No." And the people who approved it, could have told him no. But were they too afraid of rejecting the design because Nouvel is famous and was that's Nouvel joke all along? FYI If you haven't seen ACX #62, take a look. It is about Eisenman and Cardinal's Stadium.
