"A totally senseless structure"

In this week’s comments update, readers can’t concur whether Thomas Heatherwick’s Vessel at Hudson Yards will elevate New York to new heights.

Hive of activity: readers are divided over Thomas Heatherwick’s Vessel, a honeycomb-like statue the studio designed for Hudson Yards in New York.

“Gives me New York attitude and vibes, ” praised Justas Studio. One more reason to visit the city subsequently this year! “

“Will I visit next time I’m in New York City? Of course I will, ” agreed Threefloatingorbs. “But will it change my impression positively, mostly likely not.”

“Reminds me of an office trash can at some too hip start-up space, ” added Obesa Adipose.

Malgorzata Boguslaw was also unimpressed: “Totally senseless structure. No wise person would climb up and down those stairs.”

This reader was reminded of a particular fitness brand :P TAGEND

Roadworthy ?: the latest and “safest” all-electric car to be released by Tesla, the Model Y crossover SUV, has received mixed reviews. The brand’s owner Elon Musk has said the vehicle will go on sale next year.

“If the selling points continue to be nought to 60 velocity and tight cornering they’ve missed the phase going forward, it’s a teenage mentality applied to car advertising, ” argued Idracula.

Spadestick was also less than complimentary: “Butt ugly”.

“I’d be willing to bet that many hundreds of thousands will love it and already can’t wait to slap down their hard-earned to get one, ” said Mattster, despite the criticism.

Tesla did manage to find a fan in Danny3xd: “Man I want one! Love my Prius but the nought to 60 is, wait for it … nowhere near as beautiful! Please don’t repeat that. She’s sensitive.”

One commenter had a different agenda :P TAGEND

Dud note: commenters largely agree with Phineas Harper’s view that the decision to build the London Centre for Music so close to an existing concert hall is unnecessary and extravagant.

“Brand-new, enormous culture buildings that are 80 per cent circulation always induce me a little suspicious, ” commented Architect. “They appear a lot like exerts in international fund laundering.”

Andrew went on: “The benefits of PS3 00 million being spent on properly affordable housing as opposed to one new concert hall would be transformative for the city.”

“I completely agree with this article, ” said Alfredhitchcock. “The proposed concert hall is nothing more than a vanity project.”

Chris was one of few readers who defended the project: “It’s privately funded from what I believe? They are not building a school or hospital or a homeless centre, it’s a concert hall and good on the city for doing so.”

Ultimately though, this reader thinks it won’t go ahead :P TAGEND

Child’s play: a logo designed for north London restaurant Jolene by the six-year-old son of graphic designer Frith Kerr has polarised readers.

“Wow, that must have been the easiest fee ever- wonder how much they charged/ ripped off the client for that ?, ” asked Don Draper.

Ian Byrne replied: “If they are charging five quid for a bottle of brew, it seems a pity that they couldn’t afford a proper designer.”

“I could get my cat to paw print our next logo, ” added an inspired Spadestick.

Rob Swain defended the re-brand: “It tell me something something about the business, there’s a narrative in it- that’s why it’s good. Most decorators never achieve this. It’s clear they have confidence in who they are and what they are doing.”

This commenter was also impressed :P TAGEND

The post “A entirely senseless structure” seemed first on Dezeen.

I mean, I’m honestly not that big of a fan of the comment system we have now. in the current iteration, sometimes I find it confusing to figure out who said what in a long comment chain, since you have to scroll up to the top of the chain, then trace the line down from their name to their comment.

I do think a few additional features would be nice, such as comment timestamps (and timestamps in general, outside of Xkit) and the ability to do some form of nesting replies, i.e. the ability to reply to a comment farther up the chain and have it appear nested directly below it, but it’s not like Tumblr’s current “every comment sub-nests beneath every comment that came before it in sequential order” implementation does that stuff anyway.

Beyond that, my main concern about the new system is that it includes each blog’s icon, which looks like it’s going to make comment chains take up a LOT more vertical space. This is a significant concern, but still, it’s not like it’s the end of the world or something.

Of course, I do think Tumblr has a lot better things that it could be doing than this, such as *ahem* creating a usable messaging system, or improving the way tag searching works, but I don’t find anything particularly awful about this specific thing they’re doing, other than “adjusting to change is difficult.”
