This looks forced onto an existing building like some kind of facedectomy (local term for gutting an historic facade and then adding a new building behind) except without the historic or existing building part. It is too bad because this will kill this design concept only after one building gets built. Fortunately the design will change before it actually gets built, but still this only appears contemporary to the average guy on the street. As the previous commenter noted, this is old news around the rest of the world, just done right elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-50459419421048896212012-04-16T14:09:02.100-04:002012-04-16T14:09:02.100-04:00I've been wondering how long it would take for...I've been wondering how long it would take for the continuous-ribbon motif (so popular in architecture schools and hip northern European architecture for a decade now) to show up in DC.
