What they do initially is linking volumes to specific uses, and at the same time, they leave more unpredictable events for the spaces in-between. Such fragmentation is very flexible (there are various shapes and sizes for their tiny cubes), and this is appropriate to the deep and narrow plots provided for infill. Vertical circulation is done in simple towers naturally lit from above. I can imagine the building will remain completely white, probably plastered. And when they actually do have to deal with the building codes, they shouldn't have an enormous problem. Of course, accessibility for the disabled seems to go down the drain, this is going to give structural engineers a nightmare, and I'm not sure how comfortable, private, well-lit or ventilated those rooms will be. Prefabrication (which is suggested by the double walls or floors) is scarce in Greece and it costs a lot more money than it might save, and if in the end there have to be columns all around, the whole idea is going to be wrecked. Taking a look at two of their recent projects ( http://www.dezeen.com/2009/07/15/house-in-nagoya-by-suppose-design-office/ and http://www.suppose.jp/works/nukushina/works_nukushina.html ) I think they will be able to provide something absolutely beautiful. And it's going to be more than the dollhouse we saw here. My only question is, when you submit a proposal to a competition that is site-specific and stresses a lot on feasibility, affordability etc., just how abstract can you be without risking to blow it all?

Try as hard as you might to decipher and still you will fail. I think the online text translation sites have a lot to own up to here. The Greek entry on the other hand is very coherent in it's idea and statement. I have very high hopes for the this duo! hmmm
