I would love to complain about working on this
Tradies thinking about all the OT they’re gonna pull on this monstrosity
Only for tenants who can afford custom made furniture.
I bet that place leaks.
This is one of my favourite buildings. It’s all broken up from a distance, so it doesn’t look like just another one of the blocky skyscrapers from that area, and the glass is all tinted sky blue so the amount of visual pollution it causes is so minimal.
If I were in trades, I would love working on things like this, because you couldn’t just work on autopilot. You’d have to think about everything you were doing. That’s much more engaging than, say, cutting a hundred 2x4s to all be exactly the same length.
I unironically love this building. It’s brutalist, but with flair; most (not all, but most) brutalist architecture is also minimalist, which I find depressing. This is brutalist but absolutely not minimalist; it’s almost whimsical. I respect and applaud the architect for the wacky combination.
I wonder if it’s technically Bauhaus; I’d expect more glass and less concrete.
Is there an architect in the audience?
I like it quite a lot actually, bit yeah I feel it for our fellow tradies
Wouldn’t that be an exciting project to work on? Maybe it’s different for blue collar folks; I’ve always valued projects that weren’t the same thing I’ve done a million times before.
on top of that, you can charge as much as you want
i would assume the engineers werent to thrilled with this design either
I remember watching a video about a new funny shaped building in my city and they were interviewing the structural engineer. He said “There were only two 90 degree angles in the entire design and when we mentioned that to the architect he changed them straight away.”
