I like the cube when it's the shades of blue, not so much the other colours. But the whole thing is super cool.

I agree, not so crazy about the reds, but the blues and paler pastels are so pretty.

Have you seen shots of the airport terminal yet? Another very cool structure. of course there's a pizza hut and starbucks inside:dead: , and bi-cultural toilets! :bigsm:
