Kudos if it's constructive criticism, but I can't help feeling some people love coming on dezeen to have a dig. It's a student project, it has its flaws but its quite interesting, and its captivating enough on the eye. I'm sure if you asked him to design a gallery for real he is capable of the cubes that you want...

Like walking through an optical illusion or the inside of origami. Galleries are supposed to create open space to respectfully exhibit other people's work, not distract you with useless, decorative angles and swirls. And don't we call swimming architecture 'boats'? I think we already have those. Oh, and there's nothing wrong with Zaha in the 90s, or Zaha at all. As an object, it’s gorgeous; but as a building, much less as a gallery it would be terrible.
