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.
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.
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.
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.
But it's so cool! It looks like some brutalist paranormal manifestation. Like, I bet the distorted part of the oldest house (from the game Control) looked like this from the outside.
Yeah, there's no way all those seams are gonna hold in the AC/heat, and I would bet there's sub-optimal insulation in all the floors and ceilings exposed to outside air.
Homie you have the same cake day as me. I know we are both redditfugees. Don't act like you're better than anybody else, right? If you want to shed your reddit brain, first thing is drop edgy bullshit like this comment. Plus this dude is at least posting content. Have you?

Thats a bingo! Brother we're both here from shit beginnings don't be like this.
Also lets take a moment to appreciate the sheer waste of space that is this building. Sure, large concrete cubes are boring, they are however space efficient.
I really hope that by the time my kids grow up I hear the words "We need to go shopping, our new place feels so empty"
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."
