BIGNESS...

As time passed, many things has grown up as well as building that came up with different structure. I am sure that everyone have been impressed once in a life time when seeing a big massive building which there are many of them in nowadays. 

Of course, the structure, form and the size, are the best things that could give attractiveness to people who saw. But for me, I am totally agree with Rem Koolhaas that the oversized and large scale building sometimes created a 'Junk Space', and also difficult to experience and get the essential thing the architects are trying to express to you. Sometimes it is hard to control in terms of light, sound, or even work and detail of building. Also, when thinking in about the concern of global warming, these huge buildings are destroying the earth we live, for example, material like steel, concrete, and the use of electricity of the building would increase. 

For me, i think architects in nowadays must concern about global warming and create architecture that won't harm the nature.  They should set the limitation of how the size of space of the building should be and 'Junk space' won't happen so people could use the space usefully.
