In response to "I need to see Chartres and Cologne cathedrals some day. You should see the butchery they did on the museum here with a horrible addition" by zork

The problem with all this "modern" stuff is that it ends up looking dated very quickly.

And those organically shaped buildings made with titanium skin (Guggenheim in Bilbao, Experience Music Project in Seattle as examples)are a nightmare to maintain, heat, cool and use.

Many of the art museums that added Modern additions have found that the spaces end up needing to be modified to keep the art from being damaged by poor HVAC or from light. So they have an art museum that isn't conducive to displaying the art or maintaining it.

They put form first and wedged in the function part wherever it would fit. That's ass-backwards and a real disgrace.

- Those two places aren't dated they are timeless. You see elements of each in buildings both pre-dating and post-dating them - TWuG Oct 19, 21:14
- bull. some just don't fit in to their or any other age -- nm - zork Oct 19, 21:11 2
  - nobody would build Notre Dame the way they did then if they were starting from scratch today - hachiko Oct 19, 21:15 1
    - It isn't about someone deciding to build it from scratch *today*, it's that it has been incorporated into basic architecture from it's creation until - TWuG Oct 19, 21:21
