To quote Ghery:
"Most people don't think of architecture as an art. It gets blurred, because architecture, as well as being art, is an act of social conscience. You’re making buildings for all kind of people that give them shelter, to make them feel loved and accepted."

We have to look at his contributions to contemporary architecture similar to how we view contemporary art - it's supposed to invoke a strong feeling, but not necessarily a familiar one, it's meant to challenge. There are lots of criticisms to sling, I find his work rather gluttonous and I usually prefer Calatrava for that level of grandeur, but he's a generational talent.

Moving back on topic to the hotel. Good to see it approaching exterior completion, the concept for the bar/resto up top looks cool. I still really don't like the patterning on the façade.
