It's All Bloch, Bloch, Bloch

It seems like everyone is talking about the Bloch Building. Time magazine called it the "most anticipated building of 2007" and the New Yorker is coming out with a "glowing" review (pun intended) in their April 30 issue.

There is an excellent blog on Inhabitat.com with some fabulous images. Inhabitat says "The outside appearance of the Bloch Building does not prepare you for the space you experience once inside. The large volumes of the building pierce the landscape of the Country Club Plaza district, following the line of the hillside like a little child whose full hands couldn’t carry their set of building blocks, dropping a few along the way. In the interior, visitors will have a hard time figuring out which glowing box they are in, with the differing grade changes and curved coves weaving through gallery spaces."

As we press full-steam ahead toward our June 9 opening, I'm sure there will be much more. Keep your eyes open.
