sorry, just noticed one of the pictures half way down shows the building opposite (i asume housing?) – i think that is arguement enugh for this rather eccentric piece!

absolutely love it- perhaps it owes more to studio ghibli than the reverend master gaudi?

No hay excusas, ni explicaciones que valgan la pena. Es una basura, y Manuel Ocaña se vendió. El resultado es el mimso que tendríamos si hubiese diseñado el promotor. Es una pena y un retroceso para la profesión en el mundo entero.

There is no excuses, nor explanations that worth. It’s pure rubbish, and Manuel Ocaña sold himself. The result is the same that we’ll have if the developer would be himself the designer. It`s a shame and lot of steps backwards for the practice of architecture worldwide.

Funny indeed… I like the vernacular aspect of the planning, but why has it got to be pastiche to the extremes. It looks like some nepalese monastery set in disneyland. Regarding the use of fake stone, this is only an extreme example of how materials are meant to be used today… Sad but an economic truth for most of us living in the affordable commodity world.

cummon is this the architecture you are projecting for 2009?!!! for god’s sake, i do know that clients are very demanding, and they do always want more than they can get for their site and their money but this is utter crap! it must have either been designed with the gun muzzle pressing on their forehead or else architects are being forked out of universities like chipmunk nuts! sorry but cannot but be negative.

the construction process before the exterior finishes looks interesting… the result is a shame.
caveman condo resumes it great! because of the looks, and because of the last century way to synthesize the ideas
