I was basically treated like a retarded by my dear collegues because when I saw this:
http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/
Please play the long version! It gets better (not). Careful with the sound.
In my mind the sentence: "Big menir - The phallic monument to all the men in this world with a lack of self-esteem and with tacky taste", also the "Oh, when is Sauron's eye gonna pop out on top of the tower" or "It is pure and stupid kitsch architecture: it needs an epic soundtrack to look impressive"
I was made fun of, because I am a nostalgic and backward architect, that likes living in the country side (ah ah that is so funny! =\), and had to endure 3 grown up men acting like "my daddy's proche is much better than yours", getting depressed because after THAT there is no place for "normal" architecture anymore.
God, what did people think after they built the Florence Cathedral, or the Pyramids? Did the world end??????
My boss:
- Come on, something that big has to be good!
Me:
- Something that big is sure gonna be impressive. But impressive doesn't necessarily mean it's good.
I think he is mad because I think it's a stupid building/ sculpture, do not agree with him, and told them it looks like a cheap modern Lord of the Rings preview.
