I've had a love/hate relationship with my feelings about OMA projects for a few years now. On one hand, I love how directly they are able to move from functional premise to architectural form. I've also been a big fan of overcoming flat cities to utilise an "every-direction" model of urbanity.
On the other hand, I hate - with a passion - big box architecture that apparently creates every possible opportunity without recognising any downfalls (along the lines of International Style). You've got to be able to see what you're losing whenever you gain something.
If you want to skip to the visual orgy of architecture which made my jaw drop, check out the last minute of this clip.
