The problem with so many famous architects is that their designs really only speak about them, not what the building is made for, or who it is made for, or where it is made.Samuel John Limahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564084368277778423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-61899907694050233642010-10-22T21:48:25.824-04:002010-10-22T21:48:25.824-04:00I can't make up my mind on this one.

The building is very "Science Museum" and that (wonderfully captured) picture of the moon doesn't help dissociate that impression from what was probably an attempt at "Looking at our future with the US!" or similar kind of schtick.Yuri-Alex Nisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765739014256424333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-78518234839352056312010-10-21T08:59:37.831-04:002010-10-21T08:59:37.831-04:00It's rather odd coming upon this building, I f...It's rather odd coming upon this building, I felt, from walking down the street. The rendering isn't quite accurate with the appearance of the neighbors. My friend and I felt it looked like an outer space embassy! It definitely is interesting. I am a fan of I.M.Pei typically (east wing of NGA is one of my favorite buildings in dc), but this embassy was primarily done by his 2 sons who are now running the business.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-22753068654236523142010-10-21T08:03:21.921-04:002010-10-21T08:03:21.921-04:00I love it as i do most of Pei's work.

I am no Feng Shui expert but I am sure that the "frame" for the moon has something to do with it. Probably not directing to the moon but rather for the dragons to be able to escape through the hole.
