The inside is a real let down. The outside is ok… slightly grotesque.

I also dont really appreciate lack of supporting diagrams or context in the ‘aerial’ render. This is just shape making. And bad shape making at that.

“Oh, that Seagram Building. It’s like so yesterday – it’s just like that Lever House, built like 6 years ago.”

Looks a lot like the facade of the Trutec Building in Korea by Barkow Leibinger, built like 3 years ago.

Am I the only one who thinks this facade is stunning? The depth would be amazing from both macro and micro scale. When you’re far away, you would see it shimmer and sparkle as it catches light and colors from different angles, then up close it creates a readable pattern. I don’t think the facade is a rip off of Barkow Leibinger, although the idea might be, this facade pattern is much more elegant.

True, the form isn’t great and the justification for the form is under thought, but this kind of facade can work with thousands of different forms. And since this is obviously just schematics, I’m sure their form will change (I hope their form will change). LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!

If that is copies – everything is copies… But it’s more than fair to say it is heavily inspired by theese things. It is also fair to say it never comes close to reach their level…

And it wont be build in Dubai, it nowhere near ugly enough:)
Wait, maybe put a big tacky sign on it and some curly shity detalis and it’s credible..

But as they are broke, this is most likely just a vaige attemt to make people believe they still have money..

hmmm: “they designed not only two towers but also the space between” – Is awareness of the voids our projects create really supposed to be special now?

And the facade is a copy of Barkow Leibingers TruTech building in Seoul. (http://www.barkowleibinger.com/).

I have no problem with selfpromotion by architectural firms, but at least it would be nice to see a little creativity and innovative thinking in the projects piblished here.

also most of the images look like they are not yet finished.

The plan form and elevations look almost exactly like Eisenman’s Alteka Office Building in Japan.
