Tho it looks quite nice, I don't like this "future"… we are loosing our human roots and we are starting to behave like robots…

Nobody will ever give a crap if this costs 30 times what a conventional building costs if it'll make 30 times the money a conventional building makes.

You call this design natural and homogeneous with our being? Please…
There's more to organic design than just a bunch of free formed curves. Scale, material, structure and user experience – not bird's eye experience – are a lot more relevant.

Before we became city-bound civilized snobs our ancestors spent the best part of the last ten thousand years in natural shelters mostly caves, bivouacs, huts Zaha has the courage to take us back to shelters that are more natural and homogeneous with our beings! For all those that are pouring scorn and even with hints of xenophobia at this marvellous organic architectural creation, wait until its is finished you will enjoy being inside it and wonder why you have lived in a rectangular concrete box all your life pretending to be civilised. Rectangular shaped boxes are convenient creatures of the industrial revolution that forced us out of our comfortable rural existence into these unhealthy, uneconomic, inhuman, polluted cities. Of course we probably could not have built this thousands of years ago, it would not have been appropriate or necessary, however it is necessary for us to have more humanoid forms to spend time in and if possible to live in, and we have the technology to build them. So why not?? Think outside your conservative rectangular boxes folks and dare to be once again human!! You are not just a technocratic architect Zaha, you are an artist! Zaha you have done it again!!

…and the cost to build this versus a conventional building?
