EMBLEMATIC QUALITY OMA has a very good practice in keeping things simple, monolithic. Or at least things that seems simple. Pure Geometry, a perfect square for a new eco-city, a circle for a tower, a gem for a concert hall. That’s where the beauty comes from, simple and pure geometry is difficult to find in nature, and they’re so artificial the eyes cannot resist them. That is it, the statement. Something to leave you gapsing for breath, ‘if it’s ever built, wow…’ Floating airport for Amsterdam, as a substitude for Schiphol on land (but under water) which could in turn be used as multi-purpose new urban development. MORE? International Airport for Jeddah, OMA
