That would create a more interactive space and give it more meaning as an installation.

Is there really a clear difference between what is sculture and architecture? Why the angst? You talk about environment,perhaps you should complain to companies buying illegal wood from Indonesia. Why the rigidity in thought, stop complaining, start appreciating. To all the haters.

Seems more of an exercise in tools than architecture; but then that seems to be what the AA is aiming for these days. students have been producing these objects, albeit at a far smaller scale, for the last five years; laser cutter and NURBS modelling //do not// architecture make.
