The rendering of a proposed 36-story residential tower in my area.

I like modern architecture, and I can appreciate innovative design, but this doesn't do much for me. It looks like a giant stack of folded Chinese take-out boxes.

Hideous.

 

[DreadCthulhu]

It looks pretty interesting. On a side note, an car add popped up that had a car driving across my screen right where the street in the picture was, so that was pretty cool.

 

[Doug Melven]

Hideous is a good word to describe that monstrosity.

LOL! It looks like a gigantic, multi-storied house of cards.

 

[Humble me Lord]

I really sincerely tried to like it, but I just couldn't lie.
Looks like an origami building.

 

[Sanoy]

I think it would look better if it had greenery on each level.

It's going to be more expensive to build than a traditional building. Wonder what the usable interior sq footage is.

Good description you made there. I wouldn't want that funky looking thing in my town. No sir.

It’s a real eyesore. All jagged edges, kind of thing that will grate on most people I think

My screen had an ad for headache tablets, appropriate after seeing that building.

I do. What first sprang to mind when I saw it are the foxgloves and other tubular flowers in our garden.

Since you're soliciting opinions on architecture, I'm curious about what you think of this house! It's in the neighborhood I grew up in, and was designed by a renowned architect for himself. Some love it, some loathe it. It is facing a panorama of the ocean and mountains, so the use of so much glass was obviously intended to soak in the view and light.

It looks like maybe the architect was inspired by Brâncuși’s eternal column. The original works better tho. This has too many sharp edges for my liking

That's cool. I'm assuming it's in CA. I really like SoCal mid century modernism. That reminds me a bit of the Alexander house in Palm Springs, though more elaborate:

One of my all-time favorites is the famous Stahl house in the Hollywood Hills. Talk about spectacular views...

Maybe if they painted each tier a different primary color...?

There is a practical reason for that. The outwardly projecting windows allow for a larger glass area, and will provide more light than flat windows set flush in the exterior walls. But that jagged profile just looks so bizarre.

LOL!!! You are right - it does.

Is that a robot with a red helmet eating a plate of spaghetti on the deck, or am I trippin'?

I think it looks a *little* better flipped upside down.

 

[Percivale]

If it was wider and rounder, with plants on every level it might look good
