i found this sculpture project having much more architectural quality then most of zaha’s building project. Her architecture are usually too formally dominating and sculpture liked, whereas in this sculpture, i can see how each of those block being clusters units that form an urban scale project.

PS: The photography is too dark.

Sorry to be the spoiler, but didn´t like it at all. The material is heavy, the pieces are heavy themselves… it lacks the usual Zaha elegance, its something I´d expect from a more mass-oriented designer, not a movement oriented one as Zaha.
Well, she´s been changing a lot in these recent years, but even then, heavy on heavy turned out to be… heavy.
The one thing I like is its shine. The polished surface looks good on a black blackish stone-like material, but other than that, I´d be critic even about the hexagon-shaped structural module repeating and repeating…
Her recent stuff was definetly more refined and better designed – in the formal sense – than this one.
Anyways, just tu put some dark side into this “greaaaaaaaaat” comments hehehehhe
