I walked through the project and couldn't help but notice a design detail that is not well thought out.
First off they are using facade chimneys, which is fine. This is not a problem.
Next, take a look at the installed facade chimney which presents two problems.
Notice that directly under the chimney is a facade window. Would we really build a window directly in front of a chimney.
Also notice that the chimney is installed too close to the edge of the roof. If we follow the lines of the facade chimney, the implied imaginary chimney would bust through the side of the entire structure. The chimney would come through the window directly below it.
I'm not really a critic of architecture, I just like the logic to make sense.

I agree, ridiculous.
Or, maybe it's subtly postmodern and we just don't get it.
I like your postmodern idea. Why not take the facade to more extremes with absolutely no contextual logic. Drive over faux roof driveways, have 3D paintings of stairs that go nowhere, faux doors...
