I love it! Mostly because it looks like a giant coffin.

Zaha should turn in her Pritzker.

If you find this repulsive research PRADA in the desert.

Some "artist" enacted a similar structure in a stretch of vast desert..."coveted items" to never be touched.

The Chanel exhibit would appear to be a knock off...GASP!
