I am not fond of Gaudi's style, although I suppose that reveals me as a Philistine. It does look cartoonish to me, as well.
To: MadIvan
Ah, 80 story dildos..how clever!

I like it.
To: MadIvan
I kinda like it, it sort of remindes me of this.

We could paint an american flag on it and point it at North Korea.

As I remember the plans it is quite a bit larger than any thing imaginable today.
My library is packed away or I would dig out the specs.

Here's one of Gaudi's most famous buildings, "La Escuela de la Sagrada Familia" (Church of the Sacred Family), in Barcelona

"Looks a trifle cartoonish"
More like a phallic symbol! This is awful!
To: MadIvan
I LOVE Gaudí.
He certainly wasn't boring.

Well, I love Gaudi, but this is...NOT GOOD.
And definitely not New York.
Why is it so hard to come up with a design with the right "look" for the city?
I want to lock 1000 architects in one room and make them listen to "Rhapsody in Blue" at full volume until one of them GETS it.
To: Happygal
I'm glad you said that first, lol. I was thinking that thing seems to have a lot of phallic symbols designed into it. As Shrek would say.. "I wonder if he is compensating for something?"
To: habs4ever
Ah, 80 story dildos..how clever! LOL...my thoughts exactly.
