I wish there'd be more architects avoiding using full-glass facade. This design looks interesting, but (at least to me) somewhat disturbing. Yes, they make the "artistic" statement, but we're not talking about a picture in a gallery, this is going to be visible by a lot of people and for a long time. The urban environment is affecting people, so I think they should be more careful with these experiments...

In the surrounding sea of glass (including three large spaces on the same building) the crack looks really out of place, and draws the attention too much, It's also not regular, which fights against our desire for uniformity. Just feels very out of place, at least to me. Interesting nonetheless, but I wouldn't want to look at it every day for years... :)
