Culture in Progress

Remember this project?

Yep, the City of Culture of Galicia in Santiago de Compostela, Spain by Peter Eisenman.

Well, it looks like it's under construction.

After the lukewarm reception of his Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, this huge landform just may be the architect's legacy. Or it may end up like the Wexner Center (undergoing a $15 million renovation only 15 years after completion) or the Columbus Convention Center (ugly). My bet's riding on the legacy.
