Just as Ban san said, if you don't like it, at least you can recycle the paper and make some other things! Reduce wastage!

But, once again, as an "art", it's very inspiring!

The thought of these structures being the wave of the future for housing refugees and being a low impact form of architecture seems like a real load. It's paper. And unless there is some plan for keeping hurricanes out of Mumbai it doesn't seem like this would do anyone much good.

It looks simple but I just can't seem to find out how it works. A square section can't keep it's section from the moment there comes weight on it. Can anyone help me with more information or with the structural principles of this project. This is a very interesting project. It looks simple but I just can’t seem to find out how it works.

And surprisingly (though I find this beautiful), not even on beauty. A huge part of the value is what is called in the auction and art sale business "aura" - I am not kidding. It is only called that because the art world can't bring itself to say, "brand". Shigeru Ban is an awesome architect, and his projects that can be possessed will fetch a premium, so analyses like, "it won't even go outside" are as well considered as "mine goes to eleven". That said, I LOVE this...anyone know where I can get the paper square tubes? Not to proud to knock-off as I do not have 20-30k pounds laying about my bricks and mortar house!

And as a peice of art it's OK. Just not original though, so I don't understand the hubbub. It's just a giant paper model. That idea/hobby has been around for centuries.
