All three of these projects were great and turned out wonderful and unique. Really interesting to see these designs in more detail.

Well, China builds incredible structures however I have to say that unfortunately the lack of attention to detail is evident almost everywhere. The first thing I noticed when the opera house appeared on my screen was that joints of the exterior cladding does not line up. The second thing I noticed is how dirty the building’s cladding is. Sure I get it, a few misaligned joints but seriously… can’t keep a building clean? I have noticed that most public spaces in China are not kept clean with layers of dust and grime from the years.

hello,there is absolutely no way in hell that Opera house was built for 200 million dollars,that is a bold face lie,i have 45 yrs of building and design experience and I would put the the actual cost closer to 400-500 million dollars!Nice try China.Zaha was an amazing Architect!

Rotterdam's Market Hall is an Awful looking building, surely they could have made something much nicer than this.

The building is fine, I just don't like the art they drew on it.
