City of New York II: The Blob That Ate Queens!

This UNSPEAKABLE HORROR was actually (ACTUALLY!) the winning design for the renovation of the Queens Museum of Art (formerly The City of New York building) a decade ago! 


Someone somewhere said it looked like the building had been bombed during the London Blitz. I think it looks rather more like a giant oozing slime has overtaken the building and dissolved everything it its path! 

Amazingly, the architect still lists this as a "project" at his site. I don't want to name names or besmirch anyone's reputation, but you can read about this "project" here. (WARNING: graphic image.)

THANK GOD the museum had the good sense (to say nothing of taste!) to scrap this plan and start afresh!
