Though there is a lack of termination logic at the roof line, where the elegance of the metal lattice simply terminates. Is is simply empty formalism, a pastiche though? its definitely pretty.

It wants some change :) no hard feelings ... Interesting disposition and design, but I remember you on your lecture in Prague, when you presented your building with the similar design to that facade.

Well, I have been accused of having a "twisted" sense of humor... Maybe the restaurant scene from "Playtime" (Tati) has scared me. I do like the look of the place, however, real life will always rear its ugly head to mess with design. People are not always the most stable of creatures; they fall over sometimes. They don't do it intentionally. Maybe they're a bit infirm and have balance issues. Maybe they've had a bit too much to drink. Perhaps someone bumps into them. If it happens on a "normal" floor, the business is more or less off the hook for any injury. If it happens in a place where there are uneven floor surfaces (like here), and there are no railings then the business runs the risk of a lawsuit. I would not be surprised to see some kind of "invisible" handrails or partitions introduced to this project, say some kind of shatterproof glass (or whatever the material is). regards, G. # david Says:

I do like the look of the place, however, real life will always rear its ugly head to mess with design. People are not always the most stable of creatures; they fall over sometimes. They don’t do it intentionally. Maybe they’re a bit infirm and have balance issues. Maybe they’ve had a bit too much to drink. Perhaps someone bumps into them. If it happens on a “normal” floor, the business is more or less off the hook for any injury. If it happens in a place where there are uneven floor surfaces (like here), and there are no railings then the business runs the risk of a lawsuit.

I would not be surprised to see some kind of “invisible” handrails or partitions introduced to this project, say some kind of shatterproof glass (or whatever the material is).

For me the façade is a bit of a shame. Perhaps instead a straight crossed structure with two layers of diagonals, like a crossed scandinavian fence, could give the design more subtlety of form - but I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me on this.

Has Mr. "PRINCIPAL IN CHARGE_ Héctor Esrawe" thought about a remedy for the injuries of the waiters vertebral columns after having served the customers who seat "into" the ground floor level...? Please excuse my ironic tone but such an expensive effort for such an irracional outcome! At least you get published... All the best!
