Anyone who has been to Wadi Rum knows that it would be a terrible tragedy if this project was built at that site. The same as if a company decided to carve hotel rooms into the sides of the Grand Canyon or at Zion National Park, defacing the natural beauty. I'm dissapointed to see Inhabitant publicizing this project. This is a horrible project.

Additionally, the concept of nature ebbing and flowing over millennium and evolving a natural shape does not fit well with the actual design which is punctuated and distinctly carved. Again, while striking, the design does not convey the sense of harmony with nature as it is purported to; it is quite abruptly carved into an existing evolution. But it is thought provoking. www.thedisgruntledarchitect.wordpress.com I see how this design is striking, especially as a rendering when Photoshop can create very dynamic enhancements; however, while it does convey a sense of power married with elegance and rawness I question whether this would ultimately convey this same aura in the true built environment.
