Sounds like they think outside of the box and not go with conventional architectural design. Good for them. Had to laugh at <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;house design threatened to outrage survivors&quot;</span>.... just sound like PR hogwash.

These HEARTLESS AFRIKKKAANS aka children of APARTHIED creators, obviously court the old adage &quot;Any news is good promotion&quot;

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> This isn’t the first time that MVRDV has courted controversy after a disaster.
Following Hurricane Katrina it designed a house for victims in New Orleans in association with Brad Pitt's Make It Right foundation, reported the International Business Times.

But the house design threatened to outrage survivors as it looked like the property was bent double from strong winds.
‘Provocation is good, because it pushes people,’ MVRDV head Winy Maas told Metropolis at the time, before referencing the controversial director of Fahrenheit 9/11. ‘We need architectural Michael Moores.’

No, you need not take my post Seriously. I thought you would have made the connection to <span style="font-weight: bold">AFRIKANERS</span> but I guess it takes more than subtle remarks for some folks to get it.

Either way, what affects <span style="font-weight: bold">Me</span>, affects Me, and does not require <span style="font-weight: bold">Your </span>support.

Now, go and research AFRIKANERS.

lmfao - ahmmm, no - we ALL 'get it' - we just think it's a load of horse-hocky.

i don't know bout whoever else - but as for me, i think you (and many others around the country as evidenced by what's on CNN) - are imagining things, because of an over-emotional over-sensitive over-reaction associated with a traumatic memory.....

..... and that you're manufacturing - in your own mind only - a connection between things that are <span style="font-style: italic">not connected</span> at all. the notion that the architects 'did this on purpose' because they are Dutch/Afrikaaners is laughable. Ricockulous. this event was probably nowhere near their minds, their work has nothing to do with it.

because guess what - to the rest of the world, it's past history.

there's only some people who remain stuck forever in september of 2001 and think <span style="font-style: italic">everything</span> is 'about that'. and it's sure not <span style="font-style: italic">these</span> people, they're on the other side o' the world just doin their work and goin about their own business.

You happy now? I hope that you can appreciate the fact that everyone has an opinion in your everlasting quest to preach your own version of [<span style="font-style: italic">drum roll</span>]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'"> Ricockulousity.</span> LOL!

Hopefully you can now move on after that <span style="font-style: italic">reviting </span> rendition.
