Strange building

I just wonder where this architect got his inspiration ... -ohmy

 

From bee hives combined with fiction movies?

 

OMG, this is one beautiful building... But it cannot rival my affection of the "turning torso"

 

But this one is much taller and transparant ...
Same question for this building in London:


Just hope that Christo don't have any funny ideas ... -evil

 

Christo? Who's that??? I think I am lost in this convo...

 

Christo (born Hristo Yavashev, Bulgarian: Христо Явашев) and Jeanne-Claude (born Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon) are a married couple who create environmental installation art. Their works include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, the 24-mile-long curtain called Running Fence in Marin and Sonoma counties in California, and most recently The Gates in New York City's Central Park.

 

i dunno, it gives me naughty thoughts

 

Oh them! I know about "Christo and Jeanne-Claude" but not just "Christo", the art museum hosted an exhibition on their work last year... the pink canvas surrounding tiny islands off Miami shore, the Parisian bridge (I think) and the Reichstag in Berlin (I think...)

Those are lovely actually, but I get it (finally) what you mean by better not have any funny ideas on this strange building... It can be quite 18A if the fabric is in the wrong colour @_@b
