Centralized Science Laboratories Building

Many people say this building is not "harmonious" with the surrounding because of its color glass and wavy shape. I spent over 10 years studying and working at CU so my view should count.

I think being harmonious with the surrounding = boring and making no contribution to the scene. This building occupies the center of the scene if you look up the hill from outside the train station. The architect didn't let the chance of making a good use of this position slip away. If you look closely and think about it, this building is designed to be the focal point of the scene viewed from outside but merge with the surrounding when viewed from the other side.

If you look at it from outside the train station (by the bridge that goes nowhere), this building adds a colorful focal point to the scene.

However, if you look at the Science Center from NA or UC you won't spot this building easily because it merges with the surrounding very well in terms of color and shape from that side.

It is way better than the Hyatt hotel by the train station. This glassy piece of shit destroys the view of the Shatin valley from NA and Science Center, at the same time spoils the landscape of CU viewed from the Racecourse or the highway.

The annoying security locks inside the building is another story. Most likely it has nothing to do with the architect.

Salute to the architect (I can't find who he is in CU's website) and the administrators who approved this design.
