Why not just build it with equivalent floors on either side? Was it for bants?

The building will look like shit when people move in and some blinds are down and others not.

dunno. seems like a strange concept to me. i believe it might be condos so i'm assuming they would wait until they've at least sold a few before starting construction, so maybe there is some interest. not for me though, looks silly.

Yes that's a very uninspiring building; the colour, the geometry, the materials are just not interesting. I hope it'll improve when a bunch of young couples move in and you buy yourself a telescope. ;)

^ This is an absolutely fabulous display of how high-density housing can be visually exciting too. A bit of imagination and the architects have created a very intriguing landscape from simple elements and easy-to-understand principles.

Bits to love about this design:-
i) the blocks stacked on each other feel "right", just as they would to a kid of five.
ii) the proportions of each individual block are satisfying; they are like ghetto blasters on display in a shop window.
iii) in picture #1 you can see between the blocks to the trees beyond.
iv) the little bits of roof terrace in picture #2, and the big, bold plinth that allows one block to oversail the swimming pool.
v) the plan of the site, which shows how a few straight lines, put together right, will turn into a circle.

I like The Interlace so much more than the kind of bizarre geometry that Frank Gehry has made fashionable. His approach seems to be, "We have the technology so let's do it, even if there's no clear structural reason for it."

I'm sure in its way The Bilboa Museum is impressive to see, but all that shiny metal and the weird angles kind of puts me on edge. It reminds me too much of metal off-cuts, which we instinctively avoid touching:-

Yeah that is smart.

All I have to do is walk into the fab shop (here at work) and I instantly start bleeding. Kidding of course, but yeah, that's a heightened instinct when you work with steel. I see exactly what you mean with the Bilboa. It never really occurred to me.
