Is this a beautiful building or what??

[seether]

I like it. I think within its themed context the style is very fitting. I think the design is much more appropriate than yet another rectangular steel + grey concrete building. It's a native American museum, not an HQ of a retail conglomerate.

I guess it's just a matter of familiarity maybe? I actually had to do a doubletake. when the page was loading I wasn't paying attention and the first thing that hit my brain was why is Doc posting a thread about the Guggenheim? heh

In the middle of an office park in downtown Houston or Franfurt I bet it'd be an eye sore, but given the nature of the museum I think it looks great.

It reminds me of a lot of work done out here by Elizabeth Wright Ingrahm.

Interesting syle, but isn't it just a waste to have the top large part hanging so far out?

It would serve an excellent purpose if this was a fortress and there were murder holes cut into that prominence!

I have worked on the design phase of many projects. Parks, amphitheaters, public gardens, sports complexes, etc. I have worked with some of the top local artisans in architecture, landscape and art designs.

All I can say is WOW THAT IS ASS UGLY!!.
I see no resemblance to any mesa or cliff dwelling I've seen in CO, NM, AZ, UT or WY.
I see nothing that makes me think 'Native American'.
I see nothing aesthetically pleasing about that structure at all.
I was dog-sitting my sis's labrador last week, and he left a pile on the rug with more thought to design.


p.s. I don't really care for it too much

to me, it looks like a huge giant is stuck upside down in the ground iwth his foot and slipper sticking out.

I know, I had to really reach for that one. But then again, it look nothing like anything Indian.

Those were the reactions I expected

So "what" is about it, hmm?

Looks like nothing I have seen here in Utah,...(or anywhere else, thank goodness)

Looks unique!
