Eric.. I would like to see your works, and your contribution for the architecture (or not) .. . but “that’s all right my sun, you wouldn’t be the first”…

The project is not very good in relationship with the environment, but don’t stop to be interesting some organization space, and the square limits, and i think the post express exacly the idea of the project, we can understand with this simple images the idea, don’t need to be a “licked” 3D for that… Well Dezeen Keep On the good work

I also dislike the nastiness of much of the criticism at Dezeen. It discredits both the readership and any sense of honest critique. Criticism is vital; please deliver it respectfully.

I find this project a little undisciplined. I wonder how much more development is expected to occur. As of now, it lacks both unity and a sense of intended tension/countering required of architecture that strives to be dynamic.

I like the building concept, and would very much like to see this finished.

nice project but imho its more like a simple folded roof structure then origami? origami tends to be very subtile and has some great multi layer folds most often… nice nontheless!

it’s certainly a good design..if it’s not good why it was won the competition..
.but i agree with miyagi ifu said..it’s not look like origami…no offense…but i don’t get the feeling from the origami concept…as far as i know…if we review the origami,it had a certainly pattern…in this design…it’s look like just folding in every part…didn’t have one
maybe it’s just my opinion because i am just an amateur in this way….cheers…=)….

sorry for my english….

the thing is the rendering need not neccessary reflect the actualy building. there are alot of thin flying slabs which seemed impossible. origami concept is very much used in the asian culture. how is it relevant here… please elaborate.

@ rik + mime. Agreed! Criticism is one thing, voicing an opinion, offering insight, etc., but outright slamming of projects really undermines the site. That isn’t to say that everyone must like every project or keep it to themselves, but there is a right way and a wrong way to critique these projects.

Let’s make Dezeen positive again.
