Anyways, I've got to agree with Xtiaan. Also, this project wud have been better presented with physical models. What's wrong with that, it seems like everyone has turned to 3Ds. I think smaller projects like houses with not-so-UNstudio or not-so-Hadid forms have their charm, and shouldn't be tempted to give in to the devil side of computer visualization. Also, my opinion is that the diagonal bracings are way too emphasized. Another project very similar to SANAA's. Ouch!
