Yes, this project is quite out of control--restraint is learned as we go--but experimentation is integral in the field of architecture. As architects we should aim to explore the extents of applicable technologies within our field, be it structural, material, etc etc. Again, we all fall into our own desires of exploration, some of us like to follow the trend that has been active for the past 100 years, others look towards new possibilities and have the fortune to try an idea out...which should not be discouraged, especially in the cultivation of the student mind. Quit being so close minded and rather than attack, give constructive criticism that can build the profession into a new branch of exploration.

Product design stories never get as many responses as the architeture stories. Bah. Thus is the hierarchy....but I still reckon I could defeat ten skinny be-spectacled black jumper types in fisticuffs any day. Hah. I’m jealous.

By being a student. You were not born as the skilled professionals that you now are. You relied on education and feedback from others to hone your skills. Some of the nasty comments above are so completely unnecessary. Sure there could be a little more discipline to this design, but he's in 3rd year people... it's all about unimpeded idea and concept generation at this stage. The how and why will be developed with time. That's if he makes it to 4th year after receiving so much soul destroying and confidence blasting responses. Be constructive with your criticism and STOP being so elitist. You might learn a thing or two from young bright sparks if you removed your head from your asses. Keep going Elliot, some bright ideas emerging there! Also a lesson that you can't please everyone so don't try to or worry about it! And a note to all of you "it's not original" critics, nothing is original anymore, everything is an adaptation of something. It's whether or not this appropriation is relevant which counts.
