People had this problem with the Eiffel Tower, with the Pompideau. I think it raises interesting questions about modern art.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-78201860458480743162008-01-21T13:52:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:52:00.000-05:00The New structure doesn't seem to blend with the s...The New structure doesn't seem to blend with the surroundings Ruth.<BR/>Where as your building is blending very well.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-26141698549431609932008-01-20T18:55:00.000-05:002008-01-20T18:55:00.000-05:00Boots, I agree with you.

She is spectacular-looking, and there is something about her presence, at least in a photo, that drew me to her work. It is quite interesting to contemplate that.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-61552337182717332592008-01-20T11:28:00.000-05:002008-01-20T11:28:00.000-05:00The photo of Zaha Hadid is as fabulous as her arch...The photo of Zaha Hadid is as fabulous as her architectural design, Ruth. I would want that building anywhere for the idea and vision of her alone! If it were anyone else's, maybe I'd think differently. So, hmmmm. That's interesting that I cannot separate that building from her. SHE is the beauty to behold.

I don't think it's been condemned yet, but once a ceiling/floor fell through to the level below!
