I agree with those above.. nice intentions, wonderful essay, but the results don’t speak the same. Plus, if this is for mongolia, it seems they may have ignored signifigant cultural cues.

This is a frustrating proposal.
You must either display a design that has the soul to reflect your feeling and descriptors, or drop the messianic prose and speak plainly about a piece grounded in reality.
The ‘free flow’ of space is kerfed by clumsy collisions between interior partitions and the monolithic exterior, the ‘rhythmic compression’ can only be achieved by quickly running back and forth inside the space, and for an ‘uninterrupted’ surface there appears to be a number of huge holes in it.
Fire your renderer, give your copy writer the design pen, and please don’t repeat this; in space or time.

i have been in one of Derek’s projects in Mexico city and i can say that that project that is an apartment complex with rectangles slicing out one of another is very cool and modern for Mexico, but this project i can say that was disappointing, too massive exterior wise and interior is just some flowing floor plans that does not have any relationship with the exterior, but well is a fellow Mexican, i guess is a shame that he blew the opportunity of doing something really interesting like hes previous work. Keep it up Derek!!!

i think it this is a very good project.
it is interesting to see such a bold solid outside mixed with fluid lines of interior.. well… they are not fluid really…. it is strange an inner symmetry.. (plan – mirrored about x-axis… )…. quite controlled….
