I think they need a lot more windows, but besides that... I want one!

I think this will be the architecture of the 21st century; for homes and businesses.

in polish: RMF - Radio, Muzyka, Fakty
in english: RMF - Radio, Music, Facts
I`m from Poland and I think that, besides the building look, the station is really good, but it obviously depends on personal preferences :). If someone wants to try:

try Windows Media 48kbps option :)

This building has been a major failure for the investor, it almost took the whole station down (AFAIK the biggest radio station in Poland).

Why? Well first of all it wasn't meant to be a building for the radio headquaters - it was meant as headquaters for a new TV station. Then a few things went wrong - the company did not get a licence to broadcast a TV signal, the highway that is right next to the complex had a junction removed from it's plans (so you can see the building from the highway, but have to drive for another 33km before you can enter it)...

From what I heard from people working in RMF, the station/company had serious problems to recover from this setback. Mind you, this was quite a few years ago.

It looks like a giant gerbil run.

I can't think how to live without any windows--awful. I looked at Monolithic Domes, and they built a High School without any windows, which I think has to be considered child abuse.

It doesn't surprise me that it was a failure. The pictures of the interior show an empty building. It's not that you can't build big toys, it's that maybe they don't work as a useful and vibrant environment.
