No integration to the great view of the context. Interesting use of the interior space, at least on the skecthes. Shows the continuity of Holl’s ideas considering it was designed in 1994… but may be too urban for me…

I like the way the building seems to echo the monumental form of the mountain rising in the background, and the linked interior spaces cascading up through the building seem like they’ll be interesting. One thing I don’t like is the tufty roof.. It looks something like a patch of wilderness on top of the building in the renders (which I can kind of understand, if they’re trying to echo the landscape) but it seems to have been turned into something more like a wicker fence in the final building, which just seems like a random addition.

interesting building but its scale is an eyesore in such a lovely site

I see immense inspiration from John Hejduk in this work.
