Yes, sounds like they want meteorites that look like buildings rather than make a building to look like a meteorite! :)

Yuk - it really looks nothing like a meteorite IMHO - it's more like a collapsed tin can, - why not have jet black fusion crust over the exterior, which absorbs solar heat and saves energy bills?

The inside is a missed opportunity too - Personally I thought that the latest design trends in modern buildings were moving away from silver balls hanging in corridors and white 1960's tables..

Interesting though, thanks for the link.

Well I was invited on the grand opening today but unfortunatly couldn't make
it.
The Campo is there indeed but I can't really say where they placed it.
Funny thing is they called me last week for advise...... They wanted the
Campo shine like silver when the sunbeams would hit it and asked me how to
make it look like as shiny as possible. Of course I strongly advised them to
keep it as natural as possible....doubt it if they did :-)
I'm going to visit them shortly and hopefully they didn't torture the poor
thing too much.......

Best,
Jan
