AA may be creating some egoistic architects but give it a good thought this is a summer pavilion and hence not meant to keep the rain off. The vertical roof membranes provide a certain thickness which decreases heating of the space below which would be the case if the roof was designed with negligible thickness. The pavilion design is so organic taking its cue from the trees, looking like a stem with stooping branches. How many students beyond 3rd year and architects have done better job than this? Its this better than just making a model on the table. They have taken their experiment outside. Appreciate it. I very much agree with Jmax, Helen & Olgv.

I think that students should try utopias for them to be able get to new places in space. Some people think that architecture students should build useful sheds, but no poetry.

Reconnecting designing with making. One mustn't lose sight of the fact that architecture is MADE by someone. Often a much more interesting person than the DESIGNER. The crartsman is healty and lives outdoor rewarded by the tactile fruits of his labour while the designer clicks his mouse indoor becoming excited by the radiant light of his plasma monitor. Archiecture must have a SOUL. Try to get out more. Marcos, it is about CRAFT. Reconnecting designing with making. One mustn’t lose sight of the fact that architecture is MADE by someone.

Sorry for being a party pooper... but that's how it is. Oh, you can also change your profession...
