It’s totally awesome. Unlike anything I’ve seen before. I agree with Lady C definitely where the wild things are….

there is no interaction with the fur?! half the fun of fur is touching it.

Wow, this poorly executed design pretty much proves that this competition has become increasingly irrelevant in the past few years. No one should be proud of this beast, ps1 should be embarrased.

It’s like something straight outta the pages of Where the Wild Things Are! I like the fantasy/ B-movie element to it and anyway it’s temporary for god’s sake so quit moaning and don’t always take architecture so seriously.

this project isn’t so clear to me. i also find MOS’s work quite exciting, but this is an exception. the text about passive ventilation, etc. is all baloney.

so let’s look at what it actually is….i think the photos from inside are more revealing of how the space is like…an aggregation of variably high, open rooms. the bird’s eye photos are awful.

the form and the material are not integrated. i understand the deformed “hut” appearance, but the precision of the cones does not match the thatch at all. and did they really have to get it from indonesia? the construction photographs of just the subsurface net was far more interesting. it seems the materiality was lacking, so they slapped on this hairy crap, in hope it would be more tactile..and it is tactile, but also incoherent.
