Response to Quid custodiet

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
I am astounded by the sensibility that allows an architect to think that this is a good environment for people to spend most of their lives in. It looks like a really fun place to visit, but I'd hate to work there 40+ hours per week. It kind of reminds me of that Borg spaceship/artificial planet on StarTrek, The Next Generation, but sunnier. Maybe a Borg Shopping Mall (where's the StarBucks?). I expect there are little androidish cyborgs plugged into the "network" in bajillions of cubicles (like a prison cell?), being fed data and Soylent Green...

I like the picture like it is, crop wise, but the color (even as cool as it is) makes the place seem friendlier than I want to imagine it. Desaturated (or shifted?) to a monochrome might make it really intense. I think John's right, about 2.5 meters square oughta do it. Is it a square neg? I hope so... t

p.s. I think it's overwhelmingly about "people".
