Dutch studio OMA revealed a concrete-clad residential tower on the site of a former prison in Amsterdam, called The Jay.
The residential building underwhelmed commenters, with one calling it “the most dull project of the year” and another questioning, “why would a residential building be based on a prison?”
Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included BIG’s design for an airport Bhutan, MASS Design Group’s Alan Ricks’ response to Patrik Schumacher’s argument about architecture’s problems and a prototype of Telo Trucks’ compact MT1 electric pickup truck.
