This piece of awkwardness is more low-budget high-school extension, than studio of an iconic fashion designer. There is no excuse for bad design and for all you whimpers out there, come to my university and sit through a crit - then you'll know the true meaning of critique.

Although they refer to the windows in the existing building, they should at least mimic the pattern to make for a more agressive statement. But, who knows what the interior holds...im sure the limiting of natural light has something to do with fabrics fading and whatnot. Overall, great idea...LOVE IT!! It would be nice to see more context in order to see how the building fits in to the surrounding area Considering that im working on a school project with the same concept of maintaing the existing buildings on the site and building around them, of course i find this project to be unique and amazing…I do agree about the windows.

This has a hat too, a kind of black funereal cap. Opposite to what Tom Jones might have taught us, you can leave your hat off, and it would be better. Although - it is also wearing a jacket, and Phil Collins assures us that this is not required. British buildings seem to have hats on them, as if they aren’t sure how to stop it vertically.

Architecture! all those who say "boring" "complete waste of internet-space…" , please architecture is not a show! The new building makes a god dialogue with the old. I can’t believe it! Architecture!
