Complete waste of £80 million

Seriously?

Not all homeless are addicted to Smack....

Some are actually homeless due to no fault of their own.

Such an ignorant and spiteful comment to make. You need to look in a mirror and shake your head in shame.

Just FYI I don't actually believe that all homeless are addicted to smack, but then again I'd have assumed the flippant comment was obviously flippant. The thread is about a museum - the fact that homeless people exist is frankly irrelevant. We're a wealthy country, we have a welfare state/safety net and plenty of charities on top of that, beyond that it is up to people to make their own life decisions and the poor life choices of some or unwillingness to be helped has got naff all to do with whether or not a museum should be built.
 
Kengo Kuma is absolutely fantastic. I've always been a fan of his work. If one examines textual dematerialism, one is faced with a choice: either accept Derridaist reading or conclude that architectural identity has intrinsic meaning. However, the subject, in this case Dundee VA, is interpolated into a textual dematerialism that includes narrativity as a totality. In a sense, if cultural presemanticist theory holds, the works of Kuma are an example of dialectic nationalism, which I cannot condone, but can accept, given the level of genius on display. Baudrillard uses the term ‘textual dematerialism’ to denote the role of the observer as artist, which is amusing because I've never considered myself much of an Artist, but at times the theory does indeed go beyond my head, it has to be confessed.

No it ******* doesn't.

Conditions for the homless haven't changed in hundreds of years yet the average quality of life for every ring above has shot up.

Indeed, it is stunning but as some have said the strange angular outside shape has left vast areas of unusable space in the interior this plus the invariable cafes, shops and tourist outlets has left the building being smaller on the inside than it should.

I'd imagine a lot of the unusual space would be used for machine sheds etc.

There's a lot of infrastructure in a modern bhilding

Society doesn't move at the pace of the slowest and it should not either

innovative companies, great scientists and inventors don't move at the rate of the slowest common denominator.

Seeking some form of 'cosmic justice' where we are all equal is a disatatrous idea, especially for the less capable.

As Yaron Brooks explains with a basketball analogy (hes and older male). If you wanted equality in basketball you can't make everyone as good a player as LeBron James. Rather you must cripple James down to the level of the lowest common denominator.

Of course it does, it's why we have laws :)
