too bad it never rains in Spain
not even in the plains
and how will they grow that lawn?
negative water consamption
how much energy that wonderful ceramic thing consumed?
is that an algea plume or silted dam

We don’t expect architects to reinvent the wheel but you might say that this was inspired by Carmody Groarke’s Regent’s Place Pavilion http://www.carmodygroarke.com/projects/publicspace/060.html
