The Esplanade: Some insightful comments
Heard these from someone who's not a practising architect:
1) There's no large open area in front of the building. The fact that it's built right next to the main road is a great crime. No other cultural centre is so positioned to limit the potential for a grand approach to the building.
2) There are almost no views of the ocean from within the building. The designers should have taken advantage of the scenic location, exploiting it to the max.
3) No cultural centre should have a shopping mall put in it. The planning is just disastrous.
Other comments were made, but these are the 3 that I agree with
What a great burden architects have to bear sometimes, being made to please all sides.
