But reductionist to paint all contemporary architecture with the same brush.

There are plenty of contemporary buildings that are great. This market / housing estate in Rotterdam is a really nice place to be in

I dunno. Kind feels like you're a hamster in a cage. Ths space is grand, but the cartoon shape of the thing doesn't really sing the praises of your evolutionary past.

It's well lit I suppose, but I wouldn't want to feel like I'm living in aquarium every day. Bright colors have to be used in moderation or it becomes tiresome, e.g. the stain glass windows contrasted against the dark stone walls of a cathedral. There's a postmodern building at the university I attended that is covered in vivid primary colors. After one semester with several classes scheduled there, I wanted to beat a clown to death.

I was thinking Dubai has some interesting architecture that isn't offensive.
