Concerning the surrounding faceted landscape, how about this: do not make it too bright in color and with too many facets. Rather, to use one color in its coloration; to make most use of its shape, that the landscape and the six-storey pavilion are obviously an organic whole. Is it possible to ask a paper-cutting practitioner to cut out such a model, from which one may get inspired with regard to how to deal with the landscape.

I, a native Chinese, I love the sign! You see and you know that. Love, a strong word, isn’t it? It is simply beyond description. And I’m fairly convinced that it is the most beautiful scene, from an aesthetical perspective, at least. The idea of making the unpackaged such as the facets is fine only if the paper-cutting faces will not make the sign less to be a focus. I believe the Heatherwick will do it.

Surely this building is devised to gain press for the said designer. This is not a clever or indeed beautiful structure (and is only a scaled up sitootery that he did years ago) just a designer’s design. I will not feel proud that this represents the UK. I hope all those spikes don’t drop off like the previous spikey thing.

so they finally got round to thinking of a use for it…

the idea of seeds sounds nice, but what’s the activity?

Directed at Ara : should anyone be able to sit and bubble a concept? Not just architects. Nice project btw.
