Ideas like this have the ability to brighten up millions of peoples lives, giving them the opportunity to be part something new, vibrant and not just confined to those squares you all design! Thumbs up to the folk who took the courage to break away from the norm and come up with something exciting.... i think you critics need to step out of your conformative cacoons and open up to our ever changing world.

I cant wait until we leave the linear dead world of the box and start building and thinking with the patterns of natural geometry (hex and sphere). I look forward to designing furniture for these kinds of spaces... This gives me hope, seeing this project helps me get out of bed and face another day in this dying earth existence.

A gorgeous way to restore some of "old world" neighborhood dynamics - creating pockets of community where kids can run to the corner market and pass by familiar faces of people chatting at the fruit stand or lingering in front of a barber shop, or yoga class, or whatever...from what I can tell, these towers don't accommodate people driving through them. Seoul is certainly running out of space horizontally for these kinds of neighborhoods so go vertical and why not go green and gorgeous while you're at it?

You surely lose most of the advantages provided by these buildings. I'm not entirely sure one way or another about these sorts of things but hey, if you're going to build skyscrapers you should be building them green... Thing is though, is this actually going to be built? There's been a million and one "proposals" with most never built - Le Corbusier "proposed" to bulldoze Paris and start afresh... Not that it really matters, even just as a theoretical idea it's very interesting! Why try them on a small scale? You surely lose most of the advantages provided by these buildings.

The final design does not have to look exactly like the photos, but simply embody the principles they inspire.

I would love to see more renderings of the interior spaces. I think that's what's making me disbelieve that this is in any way feasible. That’s really impressive, but it looks a bit pie in the sky.

Faaaar out! I'd love to see this when it's built. (I also I think those yoga gals need glass and/or railings at the building's edges so they don't downward dog onto the concrete some 20 floors down.)
