I’d hardly consider it shapeless. The thing is all shape.

Perhaps you mean it lacks formality.

This is obviously an expression of extreem organic architecture. If it is as large as it seems at first sight, it will surely be a marvel of engineering. I would be curious about the materials of structure. Ed Hines

RT @nicholaspatten I want to see this in person. http://bit.ly/erdoswannasee – me too, amazing architecture and reflective light sources

Let’s not forget that “we”, the architects, are merely dancing to the tune of the puppet master. In struggling to understand architecture … if I was to follow the trend of thought of … say:
Joshua – I would be sitting on a fence for quite a while.
joninberlin – Lord forgive her “trites” … I would probably find myself at the butchers, and possibly renaming ever “cut” while forgetting the purpose of going there in the first place. “These type of buildings fit more into the ‘installation’ category. Structures without the same amount of social responsibility. Much like Expo buildings …” Expos do have a theme and is intended (in parts) to highlight specific “issues”; IF they have not been hijacked for other intent.
Ultra man – I would have to own a fleet of vehicles after I am done with “performative analysis of the site”; if performance is a truthful criteria of choice.
All the rest is a mix of styles, forms, contextual, regional, construction methods … essays/comments but I am now most drawn to the use/involvement of CAD in defining this period of architecture we are in. It is the natural discourse; post industrialisation, the advancement in technology, mass-consumerism, blah blah blah … Computers and software are the new arsenal in our quest for a “better tomorrow”. In the not too distant future, a child may voice-activate a box to produce “these” architecture. So, where do we stand as “responsible/responsive” architects? Redundancy may be our own doing, if you cannot prove our capability and the capacity to push beyond what has been on discussions here?
By the way, I was at the Science Museum over the weekend … there are illustrations, diagrams, models of mathematically arrived surfaces, Da Vinci-esque contraptions … all producing much more fluid and coherent shapes that I have ever seen. There, I credit those results crafted from non-human interference, much of the devices were gravity/kinetics driven via a series of ingeniously connected weights, pulley, governors, gyroscopes ….
Finally, if we consider ourselves this progressive in architecture … I shall borrow the “low res blob” comment from another post. It firstly made me chuckle but then a realisation …. Gaudi is the father of b-architecture!
Well …. Ok! I am one wacky becky from rehab.

WOw, I really like digital wako architecture like Xefirotarch and other crazy so called blob architecture, but this thing is just plain ugly.

@ Lucas Gray, didn’t you know the Blob is dead, Blob were digital architecture that couldn’t be build, now digital architecture can be build up. See the WaterCube or other Zaha, UN Studio, FOA buildings. They are shaped according to performative analysis of the site, they are actually not random forms…read, read and read…

nice design ,but what about the construction and materials?
