Very fine and high-quality render! Сorrectly rotined textures and general level of sun illumination. And great idea from a sketch to visualisation! Hm… Very fine and high-quality render!

And I also agree that FS' 1995 version is MUCH more interesting. I have to second Dekodex’s comment– first thing that came to mind! And I also agree that FS’ 1995 version is MUCH more interesting.

I really like all the energy saving ideas and uses. I guess this answers the age old question of "which came first, the hicken or the Egg" , it's obviously the Egg in his case. I do think the entrance should be more open, rather than "Oops, how do we get in there?" Also, why does practically every hotel design have the bathroom right at the entrance to the room, you would never do that in a home, why do it in a hotel? There has to be another way to layout the plumbing and the room entry that doesn't require having the bathroom be the first thing the guest sees. Love the concept and the architecture.

Proportions are not nice from my point of wiev...Kaplicky did it much niceier!!!! http://www.future-systems.com/architecture/architecture_19.html I hope not, but this realy looks like stolen koncept from Jan Kaplicky’s FUTURE SYSTEMS…and it looks horrible when you compare it to that building.

The architecture is rediculous looking: at first glance I thought it was some sort of stereo speaker thing, but looking closer saw that it was a building. I think that instead of using three gigantic fans, maybe use a bunch of smaller ones (unless the size is necessary for the size building). I also think the main entrance seems a little claustrophobic and seems almost an after-thought. Keep the concept, re-think the architecture.

Love all the features. But if they could eliminate the huge fans on the side of the building, the giant cap on top of the building, and do something to fix the spacey appearance of the base it would be really beautiful. As of now it looks like something out of a space age comic book rather than a professional structure. all the concepts are great, but the look of the building is in my opinion, atrocious.
