buildings can mimic trees!

Yeah the article is a bit of a yawn, but we’re designers, so we already know and sometimes over say that stuff. It’s the NY Times so the audience is the common person who may have no clue about any of this fancy arch talk. I would be disappointed if this article was in a respected journal.

 

I think the Metro station project in Spain is interesting, maybe out of scale, but at least there is a path on top where visitors can view city. Yes it’s quite an empty space below, but perhaps the client wanted the space to function for many people and large events. Empty space isn’t always a bad thing if there is a function for it.

It’s definitely bold in it’s context, so it should draw in the crowd and tourism $$$ for sure.
