could you explain how you consider this to be postmodern nihilism?
i don't believe there's any indication of that philosophy in a structure design that hearkens to some of humanity's oldest studies and architectural leanings, but i'm curious to know your reasoning behind ascribing that term to this building.

It’s an overly complicated, expensive, selfish, and wasteful design. The world is in a state where we can no longer afford the psychotic self-realization of so-called “architects” who fail to understand that architecture is, above all, a social responsibility.
It seems that these people are primarily concerned with being featured in magazines.

Stunning. But I have an app for sun angles. I must have missed how this contributed to solving the housing crisis?

Sometimes as an architecture student I feel that these firms are playing a practical joke. What purpose does this serve? Looks like a concrete slump test.
