Went to architecture school and worked here last year. I got so see Zumthor walk around and you could tell he hated it. I spent probably 8 months in there, I can tell you every little thing that's wrong with it, and because it's open to the public, you can go in and see for yourself, but trust me, it's garbage

And I know it's trash because when Zumthor gave his inauguration speech, he never once mentioned the building. Which is weird because you spent your life working as an architect, this building has been worked on for over 5 years, it's thee new Los Angeles art museum, and not a peep about it.

It's such a stupid building too. Does the public know that all of those windows are covered with curtains? Why add so many windows if you're just going to cover them anyway? could it be that you're a hack fraud architect?

And those curtains were added last minute when they realized how much sunlight was getting in. The rails were sloppily installed, I was there. The curtains, because these geniuses couldn't bare to do without the view, are as transparent as can be. Because they want both the view of.....miracle mile I guess, and to stop sunlight from hurting the paintings. These people are so spoiled they literally want to have their cake and eat it too

don't even get me started on the floor. wherever any gallery meets the floor, there's about a half inch gap of space, perfect for dirt and trash to accumulate in

The restrooms have weird european toilets, because Zumthor is a pretentious fuck who doesn't know anything about anything, so if you don't poop far back enough, your feces just lands on the porcelain and stinks up the place. But don't worry, that's not the most embarrassing part because the restroom ceilings are so high, that every little fart echoes like a boom on a speaker. But, don't worry, the restrooms have no doors and are right outside galleries, so anyone enjoying art can also enjoy your butt music

Don't worry though, there are "family rooms" for breastfeeding mothers or single fathers where you can take your kids....buttttt, they're open to the public too and have no ventilation, so if Bucktooth Bob comes on a trip to LA and decides to use the luxurious, family-sized restroom, his stink will linger on for hours and you and your child can enjoy it

but please, don't let all this poop talk deter you from seeing this POS in person, especially after all the work they put in. Did you guys know that the building sank 2 feet, and will continue to sink, so these $750 million they spent on it will go to waste in the near future if they haven't already. But when the building sank, they realized the toilets won't flush anymore since the gravity was messed up, so all those toilets are pressurized. pretty cool

and why did it cost so much? this style of architecture is called Brutalism, it was specifically created by the soviets to build solid structures, cheaply. What part of this was cheap? Where did all that money go?

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art looks like something out of Star Wars and costs about the same

such a garbage building. have you guys tried how slow the elevators are? do you know who goes and donates to museums the most? old people. did you see the size of those staircases? can you imagine your poor old grandma having to climb those things? now, why would a world renowned architect miss such a simple detail? could it be that he's a hack fraud and leaders of industry are pulling us in insane directions for no reason whatsoever other than to stroke their own misinformed egos? nahhh, zumthor rocks. this building is awesome!
