Re: smooth
Considering that most of the people I've spoken to already think that the "Crystal" is an eyesore, I would not be surprised if it's torn down at some future date. Maybe in a few years the novelty will wear out, and enough people will realize that it looks like the ROM has some sort of boxy cancer growing on the side.
I know this will probably insult anyone who actually likes the thing, but seriously, you need to wake up and stop fawning over Libeskind and his 'starchitecture'. This addition is a disgrace - it totally disrespects the existing building and the surrounding area, is made of ugly yet fantastically expensive materials, and is a giant waste of money that could be put to something better.
Of course, I don't have a lot of respect for most architects today. They're obsessed with doing something different, something new, something 'edgy'. In the process they forgot that buildings should be functional, pleasing to the eye, and integrate well with their surroundings.
