It obviously takes an educated eye (and mind) to understand a space like this. I'm surprised so many people have commented so negatively on this. The fact is that the absence of human contact makes it seem so sterile, but the literal addition of people visually being in the environment literally reflects back and makes the space.

Its quite smart really, there’s a subliminal message here, Alsop is offering multiple mirrors reflecting the warped ethos of contemporary China. HQ for the body part industry does come to mind, a wonderful set for a psychodrama, if only it all was fiction…..Faust rules OK!

Then why do u use it in your lectures, publish it on your website, and include it on your proud list of award winning buildings Mr Alsop? Must really be a “tragety” for u to lose so many staffs and studios

this project is nothing to do with Alsop.
It is a tragety.

a shattered mirror reflecting a house of cards?
yikes! where would you go to find your lost mind if you had to work in this place? mcdonalds?
I guess that being said, one does need a HQ to sell organs to the rich.
