Apparently this building has recently awarded as the best tall building in the Europe, and this title has forced me to value it again.I never feel comfortable with this orange rusty building every time I pass by. It is like a poisonous stick pins in my beating heart. It is a thing should not be located in this area, Leeds.
Why? just because it is new, but look old, and it is young comparing with the white house in front of it, but looks very threatening, even the clouds have to give a way for it.
The future is going to devour the present and past with the ugly looking but high technology (it is the weird shape that help winds go through the building easily and save the energy to win the prize), evolution is not always better looking, but better efficiency...
I surrender. Not because it looks better after wining the golden medal, but because I am stunned by the designer's creativity--"the most unacceptable idea usually leads the trend".
Anyway, I feel good that before I say goodbye to this city, I no more hate this building after passing by it more than 300 times.
It will always remind me of the time when Ryan and I criticize this building and try our best to like it.
If future is a creative monster trying to take over my past, then, come on to eat me, I'll take it.
One day the lord of time will tame the monster into another past of mine, like Leeds, like this orange thing.
And there is always a new future that I have to face, Like London, this time.
Ha! Contrary to your opinion, Joe likes this building so much! so gradually i learn to appreicate it. It's always like unfinished, which make me expect more on it. Every time i pass by i always take one more look on it, though it's not changing anymore. Just like life! for me...
ReplyDeleteyeah, I always take one or two more look on it, although our opions are different, it seems to reflect the same feeling--the feeling of our life, and, your life will keep changing, and will be better than that unfinished building!!
