YEAH!! I think this concept will be come to reality. Don't you think so?
Just like what people used to think and give comments (active and positive) to Zaha Hadid designs and works. This conceptual design will be one of the beautiful projects in the future, i think. ^^.

i think architecture student should think more as an architect and less as an form maker or artist ………….seriously ……..

I think the purpose of a parametric approach is mis-understood by many of those who have commented.

Yes the practicality of some of these ‘scripted’ designs are considered limited at the moment, and structurally beyond the capabilites of majority of commonly used materials in the industry today, and as a result many of these designs would not work now or never be realised.

The logic behind work like this is to question our approaches to architecture and design and push our boundaries in regards to material, space, form.etc, to make progress.

Parametric design is in no way limted, and is not a style! Its a tool in development that compliments Designers knowledge and experience and enables them to further understand both simple and complex problems, and gain invaluable and accurate feedback from the designs themselves in the process.

It allows time to be utlilised efficiently, when it comes to itterative designs (options), and a greater amount of focus is placed achieving the ‘best’ design solution in a shorter time.

Get a grip people, this project is not represented to be a real building project – this is conceptual design. This is a thesis project done at the Design “RESEARCH” Lab where they are focused on exploring very special design techniques.
In architecture schools in the UK we are taught to design and expand our tools in design. The practicalities of design and construction are focused on in the 2 years experience out we have to do in a real architectural practice. And these are then combined in the final part 3.
On a 7 year programme of qualifying as an architect these guys here are probably on their 5th year – so give them a freaking break.

The work looks great. It’s a vital design skill that can well be used to design a practical project in the future after some further experience in the industry.
