there is no bla-bla neither in literature nor in architecture when you have something to say;when you just build something but without any thoughts behind the whole building,then that becomes bla-bla.something none will stop to hear it again

At the end architecture is what gets build. The bla-bla-bla is for literature not for architecture. Rem is a gifted writer, no doubt about it.

So you unly judge shape?

[pierobcn]

Lots of bla-bla-bla but at the end Koolhass is dangerous, I hope he never builds anything in a city that I like. His buildings look like mutant amorphous structures, that look like Godzilla should come and destroy them any minute (hopefully he does). Someone should stand up and tell him face to face to this arrogant, that his buildings are simply put UGLY  Is this another case of the Emperors new clothes tale???
