A sensitive architect can judge when to design a foreground building and when a back ground building is more appropriate. Looking at the photos it seems like a free-standing pavilion in the middle of a public space, performing a public function is quite justified in rising to the challenge with a bit of quirkiness and fun. After all this is no housing scheme. Function, site and context are all pointing to the need for a foreground landmark structure. And who knows, maybe those facetted walls conceal grey water harvesting and an array of solar cells as well! Its difficult without drawings, but let us all try to improve the quality of critical analysis a bit. Well said Drum!
