$40,000 sounds very cheap for the size of the project…

I like the formalism of the hexagons. It's like the ground is the net pattern for the office. They haven't convinced me the office is fit for its purpose… having not really explained what that purpose is. Very small for what a 'sales and learning center' sounds like to me though. No storage, nowhere for brochures or back of house… weird.

Florian Idenburg is such an interesting architectural thinker and writer. His role was pivotal in making SANAA an international firm and was critical to the management of the New Museum in New York- one of the best building this city has seen in a long time.

But really, Florian, you need to get your house in order design-wise- Is this dungeons and dragons dice for real? I’m glad you are taking on an ecological issue here, but either make that shed elegantly complex, or brilliantly simple! is not creating a subtle atmospheric condition like a tree as you say.. ‘cmon!

I want that feeling of inside/outside you promise, and I bet So-iL can do it- but take a second to make a sophisticated space. You are brilliant- but you need to stop thinking and describing, and start making artful, powerful material environment…

take this as constructive, please. SO-IL has great promise..

Toyota does make a grass tile that looks cost effective and has just gone on sale. But the kind of maintenance a building in this category would get makes it seem impracticable to me. A new structure or a well maintained on would work.
