This thing isn't too easy on the eyes. I think it's the abundance of contrasting mullions that give this thing an unpleasant look IMO.
Thats simply not true. I care about good architecture, but I dont hate the building, although its not in my top 5, I still don't really know how the final product will be yet. However, I do find constant negative criticisms to be somewhat obnoxious and often as repetitive as the constant "this is the best building" comments. Perhaps if people were more in to "I really like this aspect of it, or I really dislike this aspect of it" instead of "I loathe this place, or I want to fornicate with this place".
I think a problem with the forum is simply a result of the world we live in now. It's too easy to take pictures, upload, and comment way before something is completed. As a result we end up with many premature judgements. I've done the same myself.
Judging cladding early on is a mistake. As buildings grow, fill with people, storefronts, etc the appearance of buildings changes dramatically (for the better, or worse).
^^in much the same way as you can walk out of a really bad movie after suffering through the first 20 minutes of it. There comes a point where it becomes clear that it won't get any better.
and even then all can be good but end up with a bad ending!
You cannot call a bad (or good) movie at the 20 minute mark, nor can one judge a building as it begins to rise. It's an odd comparison but both deserve more time before giving up on it, and even then all can be good but end up with a bad ending!
Those are some of the worst films of all time.
Are you really trying to claim that Aura is one of the worst buildings of all time? Of all time?
