so basically what everyone is saying is that they rather see an umbrella like form then a banana peel. It does what it suppose to do – not at best but an attempt. I doubt any first year students can design such a simple structure. But one can only imagine what the other entries were for this competition? Was this the top people’s choice?

the really pathetic part is that yes, this is project is a really bad version of Gage Clemenceau’s entry for PS1
submission can be seen here:

The disturbing thing is that project was a really bad rip-off of the year before’s winner: Hernan Diaz Alonso.

Yeah I have to agree with Tyler and with Scarlet. How is this design? I think I saw this fixture on SIM Themepark yeah? … and we also need to think about what happens to make things, everything, and where will it end up after it’s “purpose” is served… because i’ll tell you right now, i’m not taking that home with me after the festival is over. Maybe we could give it to a group of carnies?

..let’s not exaggerate. there isn’t anything worse or more amateur than Gage/Clemenceau.

It’s like a bad, amateur version of Gage/Clemenceau’s PS1 entry.

FORMALLY, CRITICALLY, AESTHETICALLY, AND FUNCTIONALLY RETARDED. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME + MATERIALS.

This kind of 1 to 1 methaphors are so primitive… You expect to see some concept at least a bit more developed than that for London Festival of Architecture!!! Any first year design (Arch/Interior/industrial) student can think of something more developed than that!

was there any form of competition for this? i don’t think so. i’m sure we could find way better stuff than that old banana trunk.
