One of the best ideas I've seen on Dezeen! Local sources, high tech architecture, sustainable and recyccling, new typology of building, good ideas and tasty design in one go- Chapeaux!!

Really beautiful and reassuring that scrap airplanes were repurposed to create this sleek modern space.

Ironically, the banality of this particular comment is the author's tiresome sense of superiority that's so endemic of discourse among architects and architectural critics. It's certainly one thing to criticize the architecture…but you wasted a few lines there trying to make yourself look smart at the expense of others. It's exactly this type of empty pseudo-intellectual arrogance that puts people off of the design community. By all means, explain further why you think this is poor architecture, because perhaps you have something valuable to say on that front. But please keep your snarky and tiresome cocktail party comments to yourself. You come off as a conceited windbag.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Or at least if you're going to do something unique, try to put some attractive aesthetics. One of the banalities of life as an architecture writer is reading every one's comments about how gorgeous and fascinating this house is when it clearly is not.

This is a weak design project. It fetishizes the wing as an object in the same way container projects did 5 years ago. I had hoped architecture was beyond this. I expect to see this kind of work on Arch Daily, but I expect better from dezeen.
