Its cool, i mean, if i was a Formula 1 7 times World Champion, im damn sure i'd build 7 freaking nice towers around the world, this guy is making money and who cares!?!?! Its all about business, ofcourse most of the people dont understand what big business are, however, it has to be done, this is not only a 7 tower project, its work/jobs for a lot of people, investment, development and so much more, and... i think the desing is awesome.

Just wait till these people see the non-orthogonal designs that were documented by Dr Vollers of The Netherlands, at the recent CFTBH conference. If you have difficulties with this design, wait till you see the Free Shapers, Sliding Twisters and Intersecting helical twisters design categories on the drawing board. I say give these guys a break, if they have already had one of their collaborative projects successfully translated into a LEGO design, then thay have something going for them. Until those out there with problems can say that you have achieved this yourselves, then pull you head in. I think this design is pretty cool, but the term buildability needs to be remembered, spare a thought for your Engineers and Sub-Contractors.

well let me put it in another way… facade experiments are always interesting… but a small city hall would be more appropriate to do so… big structure experiments are interesting as well… but then i want to see a real structure not jsut some lines which looks like they could be adapted from nature… in fact this project is not half as intelligent as it looks like… so it is not structure experiment it is facade experiment… and when it comes down to the intention it looks like they just need to build something big… so it is more or less a social thing not even a facade thing… and in the next step they just build it without reflect what they can move in social aspects so in the end its a big tower which will afect its sourrounding in random ways… but ok! tell me things about child emotions again please ;-)
