Holy Crap Architecture!

Check this place out. Just watched a special on its building on NatGeo. It was gorgeous and freaky, but then they *started letting the sea in, OMG, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!*
Although with that first picture, anyone else want to go for a swim? lol

Here's the wikipedia page

yes please! I want to go in the water :) I always have mixed feelings about places like this - all that water and nobody gets to go in it!

Exactly!! It looks so lonely without anyone in the water.

It's amazingly crafted but too cold for me to appreciate any beauty, sadly

The architect was saying that he wanted it to be a place of meditation and contemplation. ITA, though, that it needs some color, or movement, or something.

ETA: Hell, even a pouf to sit on while contemplating. lol

Oh my god, I'd love to experience that place!

It looks very cool.
