The aesthetic doesn't work for me, can't explain why, and I know a building is a building, but the dichotomy between old and new, subjective and objective, it just clashes.
I don't assert they should or need to appeal to my aesthetic, nor that the aesthetic value in any way impacts their ability or success.
Just a personal opinion and observation.
- jawbone3 10y agoPersonally I think its a bit too empty, they should expand it to two floors :)
- honkhonkpants 10y agoIt seems to be an allusion to the christian cathedral in Córdoba that's built around a mosque.
- greglindahl 10y agoYou have it backwards: the church was built in the middle of the mosque.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoFair enough. My analogy was about the practice of remaking a place of worship into a place to worship something else.
- JorgeGT 10y agoFunnily enough, the mosque was built atop the original Visigoth church. And God knows what was that church built atop of. Hm, maybe we should build a supercomputer on top of it!
