Modern Architecture - Taipei Performing Arts Center Propoal by NL Architects
With "four legs" that support a "tabletop", critics praised the aesthetics of the design, but noted two critical issues: the acoustics in such a huge structure would be disastrous, and there would be a lack of sun for several of the cubes. In the end, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) won the competition to build the Taipei Performing Arts Center.

Comment by Will on March 3, 2009 at 1:35am - I actually really dislike this design. It brings to mind a World War II era building, half blown out by bombs dropped randomly on the general population. Or, the Moon in Tom and Jerry: the one made out of green cheese. (Sorry, it's late and I'd been at work for 14.5 hours today.)
