the flying a-wing is back!!!

i thought i'd see if there was an update on the progress on the clarence, the sprite-inspired housing structure in downtown kingston and found a pleasant surprise!

the milenium biologix building at the airport has been added to the behnisch site! this was the building i was looking for in the first place - the oddly futuristic (and now chrome plated) triangular fortress to overlook lake ontario out at the airport. the designs on the site are more detailed than those that first appeared on this blog last year, with landscaping plans drawn in and tiers nestling the building into the hillside. it looks like a spacecraft emerging from its underground bunker, or a boomerbang tossed by some futuristic metallic monster that has become wedged in the ground. i strongly suggest visiting the site to view all the wonderful angles and descriptions.

i must admit that i'm pretty wary of the progress on the structure though, as the behnisch site says that constructure was supposed to take place between 2003 and 2006 - obviously this is not the case (or is it?). i haven't seen any construction taking place out there.

i'll post a pic of the magic soon.
