Oppenheim Architects – The Art Vault


From Oppenheim Architects comes the ‘stacked kleenex boxes’ better known as the art vault - 

A psychedelic swirl of flowers and colours that may remind the older generation of their acid tripping days -

    I usually hate anything modern…and this is no exception. The way the building stands out amongst the trees that it is set in just make it look like the horrible concrete buildings that the world was so fond of in the past. It’s shape doesn’t bring to mind a modern, exciting or bold building. It brings to mind images of Milton-keynes and it’s 70′s concrete ugliness. This is completely ignoring the fact that it is covered in garish colors and quite hideous in it’s inability to blend in or even compliment anything around it.

    No tim-tams from me.
