Happy Bear Suit posted:wasn't there some sort of incident where way too much sunlight was coming in from the windows and causing all sorts of damage to the exhibitions so they had to move everything out? It was originally supposed to be all glass, but they then realized that direct sunlight hitting stuff you usually put in a museum isn't a good idea if you want the integrity of the artwork/artifacts to be maintained. So they had to drastically scale back the amount of glass and sub it for metal siding. The real reason why the addition is mostly empty (discussed earlier in the thread) is that there is no place to put anything. Nothing can hang on the walls because they are all at strange angles, and the addition's extra space is so compartmented and disjointed that even adding small exhibits creates really big flow and floorspace issues. If you google image search "Royal Ontario Museum Addition" you'll see how utterly useless the added space really is.

Two more pictures from inside the Rothko Chapel to give a better sense of scale. The last ones really didn't do it justice. Remember you're looking at doorways there, so the paintings are pretty huge. And it's dead still quiet (no one talks) and everything echoes. From the goon who said it's some sinister poo poo, and the other goon who said it's a good place to sit and think, yeah it's both:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlgLwppgHCc It's a non-denominational church. There's various books from different religions near the front. I like to call it the Church of the Existential Void.

 Behold, Rochester, NY. Featuring 3 of the strangest buildings in one picture you might ever see. Notice the black box of glass on stilts building in the foreground. Behind that, a flying saucer on top of a building, it used to be a restaurant and it used to rotate 360 degrees. Then off to the right there is a building which, while i was growing up I always thought looked like laser a cannon pointed towards space. Close up of the laser cannon.

 I work in this (the Aon) building in downtown Los Angeles and I have to say that it is the ugliest building ever, it mars the entire skyline. Especially at night, when Aon glows an evil red, and generally it gets foggy enough that you can only see the red at night

anchoress posted:i think it's pretty badass honestly This view makes me like it even more - it reminds me of a mineral growing from out of another. I think that, at least for me, it's good that the building stands alone and thus the only thing this add-on clashes with is the building itself, and not the surrounding / skyline; the clash of new and old which is exactly its point.  With the ROM the problem is that the project doesn't really care what else is there - as such it doesn't have a sense of what it represents, it's a mismatch within the surrounding. I don't know anything about architecture btw.

Y'know I get the point of the addition and I kinda like the intention, but the fact they did that poo poo to one of the only historic buildings in Dresden that didn't get obliterated during the war still pisses me off. Of course I got unreasonably angry every time I saw an old Victorian/Edwardian building get torn down when I lived in Manchester, so maybe I'm the problem.

I saw a mention of Edmonton earlier, but how anyone can mention my home and not mention this thing boggles me. A bunch of mismatched glass, some random melty poo poo plopped on top of it, and an East German outhouse crazy-glued to the side. It's just the ugliest goddamn building in a city full of ugly goddamn buildings.

Xotl posted:I saw a mention of Edmonton earlier, but how anyone can mention my home and not mention this thing boggles me. Yeah, that's pretty heinous. GIS turns up some early concept sketches that had more curling metal facade and less glass, which would have been better. loving VE!!

Dejan Bimble posted:Are there any good postmodern buildings aside from the centre pompidou and the lloyd's building The opera in Oslo might count? It's a "white marble at weird angles"-affair, but the acoustics are said to be good, the walkable roof is well visited, and I honestly like how it looks. It has its share of issues, like some of the marble going yellow and some of the stone tiles being broken by waves, but those are hardly fundamental problems.

   The Iceland opera house (Harpa) is amazing, and the first modern building I've been in that made me feel good spend a lot of time inside looking at all the views and surfaces.

It's like a Beaux-Arts building and a Brutalist building got drunk and then begat this monstrosity. You shut your whore mouth
