eyesore of the month

i accidently met the starchitect blobmeister will alsop on the exit landing on the day i was excluded from the kiad shitheap. he is a very personable man and has a good strong handshake. i told him the dimwitted head of school thought i might attack him and his nonsensical buildings but at that point i was unfamiliar with his output and had not seen his ontario college of art and design

james howard kunstler chose it for his eyesore of the month for nov 2003 and i must admit it is one of the most ludicrous buildings i've ever seen. as kunstler says "it is so cutting edge it is already out of date" to which i can only add that its also completely mad. it's incredibly sad but this isn't a joke, it exists as a real $30 million building
