So what do you guys think of this building? I am proud to have such a prestigious museum in my city and I really like the look of it!

While fascinating, this style of architecture does not appeal to me. I don't think it uses space well, and cannot imagine multiple buildings of this type in any area competing visually with one another. As far as engineering goes, however, it is an absolute marvel.

That's pretty amazing. I would love to see how the inside works.

I'm also not a big fan of this style. Seems like an arbitrary, or at best a very personal form of sculpture that speaks to neither the nature of construction or the use of the building. It will probably be very popular simply for its audacity.

I like ultra modern architecture but those buildings seem to be a little too much.

Love it. Its a specific building for a specific site and program. Saying it doesn't work everywhere is kind of besides the point.
