"i wonder how this will look after a few years in the sun and the rain – but hey – they got the pictures for dezeen taken already, so it can’t be that important" looks like, after 2 years, it still is in good shape: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shefftim/4838161007/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominiclatham/486031...

It is possible for two poeple to indipendently come up with similar ideas, whether they are 1000 miles, 10 yrs, 500 yrs removed. It’s been known to happen, strangely enough!

I am certainly no expert on architecture but I love this building – I go past it every morning on the way to work, but it is a bit of a shame to learn it is not an original idea, but I am still a big fan of this unusual building

yes, it is a little bit disappointing to see such a literal translation of the design of the 1998. Tiburg building without giving reference to it…

I agree fully with Flip. There is no problem with re-using a good idea from 10 years ago, but if the source of inspiration is so obvious and so little modified, claiming it as entirely one’s own, new design seems to outline a lack of self confidence by the architects. A reference by the architects to the Benthem Crouwel project would be to the credit of CareyJones.
