A reader sent us this quite unusual project. We don’t know where it is or who designed it, so if you know please do tell us. What do you think it is? My guess, something related with music… Who knows -- maybe even your readers are ashamed?

"2 Sisters House"? Would it be sexist to call them -- it ugly?
More unintended symbolism: this is the Hong Kong pavilion for that upcoming Shanghai expo. Are those two big black blocks the Chinese government -- and the people inside the residents of Hong Kong? And what about those people underneath?
Just asking.
Now this, we'll admit, is decent stuff -- but why must modern architecture always look as though you can't afford it?
