By the pics, it looks like ultra-"modern" Deconstructionist architecture. As such, it really isn't that bad. My father was in school to be an architect before he shifted over to graphic design. He still follows architect circles and he LOVES deconstructionist design.
Personally, I prefer the streamline design (what is commonly termed "art deco modern," but is actually its own thing) of the late 30s to the early 50s. The streamline modern spawned the "rocket age" classic 50s design look (actually mid 50s to early 60s). Streamline is the look used in Batman: The Animated Series (visioned as the late 20th century designed as the 1939 designers).
I have some appreciation for deconstructionist design and think the parliament building is one of the better ones.
Did I say, I don't like most of the deconstructionist design AT ALL and the better stuff (Gehry-> sp?) is applied in VERY odd choices of structures.
I would NOT have built a parliament building in deconstructionist style.
