dunno, does anything beat the vernacular wooden sheds already there? Does the planet need another vacation resort ? The same generic intervention to bring all the creature comforts of western society to the most beautiful unspoilt locations in the world. I’m unconvinced.

Good concept, but the “first generation” renders look unfinished.

[...] 4 Islands in Maldives / OFIS arhitekti The government of Maldives runs every few years a bid for the islands that investors can rent for 25 years. The bid has to contain also a concept and architectural proposal for the resort. The extra challenge was developing environmentally friendly, ecologically sensitive and self-sustaining model of 4 different islands (read more…) [...]

Sorry, but this presentations looks really poor, I think u could get much better renders with less work, if u try some other program or sketches. Anyway, this architecture style is not bringing anything new and it doesnt fit to the place. It just didnt impress me at all – and it is so interesting task to work with.

these islands were tendered and some started construction three four years ago…. Hadaha with design by SCDA singapore, Funamaudua , by a non architect/developer…etc… Do you mean to say that theyve been retendered out of public view?……..

horrendous. leaving the rendering quality aside (for renders i’d say give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were making a supercilious statement showing how above stereotypical expectations of what a render is this days or something like that). but the architecture, omfg, where is the aesthetic here? what is the aesthetic? how does this work in any other way other than “i am almighty architect, i do not care for mere beauty, i am making a statement”. doesnt fit the locale, looks like it will date horribly in 3 years or less, and the poor island ends up with an architectural statement that is run down and after 3 years, after the fashion has changed, just plain omfg what were they thinking ugly.

What the hell is this sh..project? Useless, expensive and irresponsable.

Luckily OFIS does also real architecture not just renders. And also renders work for me

I haven’t bothered to read the text because imagery is shockingly poor.

OFIS please note : When it comes to renderings, go for quality over quantity.

I’m sorry but I agree with gonzales. (P.s. I’m not gonzales under another name just as I am sure the other comments are actually different people as well)

This project has good attributes to it. Unfortunately they are only done so through the text that is provided and not what is shown through the various pictures and diagrams.

Btw, I actually went to the Architects website and have noticed that there are projects that have been showcased on ArchDaily before and it is without a doubt that their designs still can be debated towards their viewpoints towards aesthetics (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). With that being said it still looks like a better job of presenting renderings (less and with better quality) is needed.

With that being said I wish the best to seeing this project completed and I hope that I will be happily surprised by the real outcome because I see some serious flaws in the actual “shown” architecture.
