Every large building has to be clearly structured. Otherwise, you get a trade mall, or some other similar kind of junk space. The "problem" with large, structured projects is that they tend to be somewhat detached from the common taste and the understanding of space. Even today, for many people it would be easier to place Stony Brook University Hospital into the outer space, rather than somewhere on Earth.. It's a bit sad illustration of our general capacity for imagination and belief in the future, but also a great achievement of the architect who designed it

At the second glance, we see that this structure is actually quite simple and rational. Rigidly structured hierarchy of circulation nodes and vertical, as well as horizontal routes remind me of a schematic diagram of some sort of computer chip. With this being our history of the future, it is no wonder that nowadays the title "architect" often stands for an IT expert or an electrical engineer. However, don't get me wrong - I love this project

Museums are all about being white or black boxes, with a very strict division and deffinition of what's inside and what's outside. I guess, this one is a little bit more complex

This incredibly powerful and truly original work was built when modernist movement was still in it's making. The expression is crisply fresh and free of readymade, predefined, typical solutions, fears, and other genetic illnesses and general bullshit of the mature style

Behind a large university building in Länggasse is a very nice place to have a cup of coffee. And a very nice piece of architecture, when you're at it

Even after my modest translation, the picture, like most of the modernist projects, doesn't give us an answer to questions "where?" or "for whom?". The "why?", and the "who" are however much more clear.

Do you also see a tower with a tongue-shaped heliport, built upon a windowless concrete or stone base, or upon an existing edifice, which is graphically reduced, and thus made insignificant in Picasso's "Head of a young girl" from 1929?
