Architectural Beauty

If you have been reading the New York Times lately, you already know that the Bloch Building has received wonderful reviews across the globe. Upon entering the building, one might be surprised to see the astounding quality of the architecture - the interior of the building is what one would call asymmetrical, with no two ceilings of the Bloch Building exactly the same. This is in contrast to the building's exterior, which is comprised of what Steven Holl (architect) calls "lenses" - the blocks of building that extend upwards through the earth.

Today is the second day of the Grand Opening of the Bloch Building. Events go from 10am to 9pm today (Sunday, June 10th). Come on out to see this highly praised new building! Everything is free to the public.

What bilge. The new buildings have all the warmth of a row of Igloo coolers...(entry edited by blog master for offensive content).
