The invention of form is influenced by, of course necessity, but even moreso by your experiences...the things you see, the dreams you have...people, nature, objects, motion. You can try to derive buildings out of silly notions like formulas and site/sight lines...but in the end they look like or remind us of something else. Show me any building, and I'll tell you that it looks like something else. Show me any object, and I'll tell you that it looks like another person, place, or thing. FWIW...if FOA was trying to elicit "muscle" iconography with that first building...they sorely missed their mark. Looks like a crawfish. Iconography is nearly inescapable.

Ya, the concept in architecture should be abstract to attract people's intention but the theme or idea can be derive from a physical actually. The physical object and the physical setting in the site as well. We should not think to create something that is iconic or "alien" to shown how power idea we have. We should remember building is for people, understanding the needs of the user is more important. The building form can be derive from the space or function - form follow function. That is no right or wrong in architecture just like the argument of "form follow function" or "function follow form". We should balance up both thing. This is the first time i read this blog. This is a nice blog. I like it. I was thinking the sentence of “Concept in architecture should be abstract, the theme or idea should not derive from a physical object.” is not really true.

From ground level, it looks more like a cruise ship in drydock.

The idea isn't strictly used for the purpose of persuasion, it's also used as a form of motivation. Could you imagine living your entire life as a constant bitch to client demands (which most architects unfortunately do); or an idea can push you forward because you get to connect something much deeper than making an aesthetic building. The idea is more for the architect, than it really is for the client. “Design is all about ideas … it is how well one can persuade their listeners to agree with them.”
