More on OCAD

Tuesday, November 4, 2003

The New York Times has an article on the OCAD’s new addition by architect Will Alsop (previoulsy mentioned here).

Particularly worthy of note is this quote: “Will is an architect who, in theory, I should really hate his work,” said Rowan Moore, the architecture critic of The Evening Standard.

What a coincidence!  Will is an architect I really hate in practice.

Maybe we are underestimating Mr. Alsop.

This could actually be the worlds greatest practical joke.

It’s a museum for contemporary art in Graz, Austria. Here is the site for it.

At least OCAD is being talked about in the press.

Why did I instantly think of Douglas Adams when I saw that picture?

I occasionally give lectures in the c & d department.  Just looking at pictures of it gives me vertigo.  Can you say firetrap?

(I love experimental architecture, but this is not pushing me to contemplate anything.)

I think something like this would be better…

That building is amazing!  I’ve never seen it before—where/what is it?
