Well, you see it as you wish. I find the overly planned use of lines repetetive, and boring. It has no real aesthetic to me. So, i still find it ugly. Basic and clear to the point does not make something beautiful. A bench made of two boards and some cinder blocks is basic and clear to the point, that does not mean it has an aesthetic.

Still doesn't change my view. It just means it's functional. __________________________ Communication is not just words, communication is...architecture because of course it is quite obvious that the house that would be built without that desire, that desire to communicate, would not look as your house does today.
