The tidal effect and its level changes during the day and seasons could have made the proposals more interesting perhaps… The timber slats used for sun control seems very naïve, just seems like a random form/ pattern making exercise with scripting, maybe it was not and was all calculated and all that, but the representations in the images certainly does not convey this… where is the good old passive solar design? And “raising the building” to minimally affect the environment? Hum…can’t the building be a positive to the nature it is replacing? “we owe it to the fields that our houses will not be the inferiors of the virgin land they have replaced. We owe it to the worms and the trees that the buildings we cover them with will stands as promises of the highest and most intelligent kind of happiness”- alain de botton my last criticism would be that it looks like it can be anywhere...not site specific enough for me....a bit boring…being ecological project and how it could been really founded upon the character and locality of the site. Having said all this ..competitions are always hard working with minimum time and we can’t be perfect all the time…I just saw lots of opportunities lost and got excited and commented…overall interesting and well presented scheme….
