MVRDV : The Cloud

Bangunan perumahan rancangan MVRDV di Seoul ini dinamakan the cloud karena terinspirasi oleh beberapa parameter. Dan ringkasnya bisa dilihat pada gambar diatas. The Cloud sempat menimbulkan kegaduhan karena mirip dengan peristiwa 9/11 dimana dua gedung kembar WTC saat ditabrak. Ini dia penjelasan MVRDV di laman facebook mereka :

A real media storm has started and we receive threatening emails and calls of angry people calling us Al Qaeda lovers or worse. MVRDV regrets deeply any connotations The Cloud projects evokes regarding 9/11, it was not our intention. The Cloud was designed based on parameters such as sunlight, outside spaces, living quality for inhabitants and the city. It is one of many projects in which MVRDV experiments with a raised city level to reinvent the often solitary typology of the skyscraper. It was not our intention to create an image resembling the attacks nor did we see the resemblance during the design process. We sincerely apologize to anyone whose feelings we have hurt, the design was not meant to provoke this.

Penafsiran tentang bangunan memang bisa bermacam-macam. Ya itulah arsitektur, pemirsa...
