The Friendly Alien
In 2000 the London-based architects Spacelab won the competition for a new museum for contemporary art in Graz, Austria. They proposed a transparent, bluish, organic shell that looked like a hovering piece of jelly.
It seemed doubtful that something like this was possible, but the city insisted to finish it by the end of the year of 2003 - Graz would hold the prestigious title of a 'cultural capital of Europe' for that year.
But it was finally built in time - 5000 sq m made of steel, foam glass and acrylics, following an arbitrarily curved surface.
As a member of the core planning team it was my task to coordinate the geometry of all the building elements that were part of the shell... About the geometry of the Kunsthaus Graz

… By far the most disappointing building of my trip last year, the "Friendly Alien" appeared to be a promising building from the publication photos I have seen of it

What makes a building unique?
Looking back over a long career, architect Moshe Safdie digs deep into four extraordinary projects to talk about the unique choices he made on each building -- choosing where to build, pulling information from the client, and balancing the needs and the vision behind each project. Sketches, plans and models show how these grand public buildings, museums and memorials, slowly take form

With this sort of definition, we will always be working on the next set of historic buildings, hopefully before they become endangered. (From ”Other Stream”)
