Architectural Skin Eating Bacteria

Suzanne Labarre, writing for Fast Company, on the design of the new Sheung Wan Hotel in Hong Kong:
You’ve got to hand it to British starchitect Thomas Heatherwick: His firm never runs out of ways to make a building look downright terrifying.
That’s something to aspire to.
Their latest example: a 40-story, 300-room hotel in Hong Kong that will be covered, top-to-bottom, in giant, haphazardly arranged white boxes–a pattern echoed indoors. I can’t decide if this is channeling an explosion of Mail Boxes Etc. or some sort of architectural bacteria that’s slowly eating its way through the building. Maybe both.
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
In all seriousness, though, it isn’t anywhere near the quality of his previous project which I quite liked (except for its poor location).
