   This is horrible. Architects always wonder why many people are skeptical and reluctant towards concrete use. Boom. Here’s why. Looks like a jail from a 1970s psycho-sci-fi film.

   Not caring about skeptical people produces the kind of place where one goes to die, not to live. Life has been abstracted out of this place.

   the composition is quite photogenic and lovable, and so are the terraces and outdoor spaces.
   but i have to agree on the interiors – though i usually don’t hold anything against concrete finishes, they just don’t do these spaces justice…

   The roof with it’s sophisticated steel handrails simply hugged the evening sky above it.

   The interiors are hostile and austere, but externally I find it rather appealing. It is certainly a photogenic piece.

   it’s the spatial proportions and the inadequate use of lighting that makes it feel like a prison. Ando’s concrete use works because of the proportions and the use of timber appropriately softens it.

   I like the design in general. But it desperately need some soft surface (wood,drywall) in interior. It must be dreadful to live inside such cold space. It looks like the only way you can personalize your own home is grafiti.

   this is japanese architecture. It has its own values and principles. I dont understand it very well so its better not to make any opinion. Try looking for the Japanese Park Biblioteque in Medellin because it has the same architectural values in it.

    japanese modern architecture is related very much with zen minimalism
