On the second sight:
- It's in a park; disturbing the landscape this way? I find I'm more inclined to accept weird buildings when among other structures, than in a recreational area.
- It feels weird on the first sight...But looking at the other proposals, they feel "alien-like" as well. Is there a wholly new trend in architecture (the "guilty" architect mentions the spread of "dynamic" buildings in an interview)? Are we going to learn about it after 20 years - the new style of "octopusism"? Sounds crazily, but who knows?
- Young people tend to accept new trends the most (a stereotype) - yet this one seems to be accepted by no one at all.-.-.-.-.-.-.-...ok, there are some voices for, but...
- I don't know, where is the baroque feeling of the building (mentioned in the interview)...
- Reportedly, from the technical point of view (air circulation, "wiring" and such), the building is very good (I don't know, just have read it somewhere).
- It's going to cost a lot of money. Couldn't the library put up with something less mon...umental...and dedicate the rest of money for, say, the construction of two new metro stations?
- Is the building going to become (after the initial disgust) a new landmark of Prague, are we really just scared of it yet and going to be proud about it one day?
- Moreover, is "octopusism" really going to dominate the future? (consider also the progress of the computational technology; without modern computers, such structures would be almost impossible to calculate - that may result in better technical implementation, but also in more and more "exotic" structures - no matter if "beautiful" or "terrible")
- Bzochi told me there'd be an exposition of the projects (not only the winning one) in Clementinum. See the poster below.
