Having lived in San Jose for about a year, there is no way that this project is doing anything beneficial for the city. An imposing, slightly scary tower is the last thing that the city needs! San Jose is not the most joyful of places, no need to turn it into a sci-fi dystopia. Coloured red, white and blue to fuel the hungry patriotic fires no doubt.

hmmm…a think is kind of fat, maybe 3 or 4 fingers were fair enough, also the fingers could have been manipulated a little bit more to contribute with the section quality, what about the back facade? Most of the views are from the same angle…

this building is an insult and patronizing. first of all, costa rica is already a leader in true environmental sustainability and preservation of it’s natural resources.

secondly, for a tropical “sustainable” building it’s crap. kenneth yeang, for one example has come up with much more advanced ideas for sustainable buildings in tropical climates. there’s no mention of any other “sustainable” features such as materials, site design, mep, etc except for brise-soleil. when did le corbusier come up with that idea?!

looks more like a foot with many toes, rather than a hand, but still fat and still monstruous. the first picture is really interenting. too bad only a hand full of people will see it from helicopter at night. the rest will see it from ground level and that view is really unfortunate.
the outer skin is interesting but the propotion is a major downside (too wide/too short).

Good idea, nice playful idea, but the building seems to me a little bit exceeding its hights? … The upperpart fo the builging will offer a lot more fun when the building stands in the middle of down town. In such nature,… I rather give clear sky…

wait wait wait..

If they’re claiming this thing is as sustainable as they say it is, why aren’t they showing it? The only sustainable, if you can even call it that, aspect i see is that they’re flooding the interiors with natural light.

funny finger house, life is fun. First picture is cool, it shows the upper part stronger and more forceful. The other pictures really show it as a fat hand with wriggling fingers which may be too funny.
