this project is reminiscent of the fake infill sites created in Italy during the early 20th century. Concept it static and does not incorporate this main ‘mandarin’ element enough programatically or tectonically, furthermore I find the symmetry off putting.

I`ve seen it from street level several times, and it strikes me as extremely ugly!

This may be one of the best projects of this year, by one of the best young firms in the world. The rhythm of simple firms and structural expression creates a very strong composition. The composition is enhanced by the orange structure. It is a structure that is both graphic, but maintains a delicate touch, no element is forced onto the project, which is something rare these days.

Unfortunately, we rarely see such interesting new architecture here in the USA. I very much like that the 4 towers are identical, but depending on how the light hits them, they look slightly different. See the first and second-to-last photos.
