gravestmor » Hold on a minute, does this building exist? : : architectural ephemera

This is a frame from the trailer to Oceans 13 and I am fairly certain that the building shown does not exist.

Towards the end of the trailer the Brad Pitt character tells the All Pacino character

“Let em tell you what you don’t want. Your hotel in a twisted heap of steel and glass. That’s what you don’t want.”

which is certainly a difficult proposition to argue with.

the strange thing is that this building looks almost exactly like a building I worked on while at SOM a couple of years back. Unfortunately it was one of the options not chosen by the client. But it makes me wonder if they didn’t get SOM to design the building for the CG team.
