		<description>My mom has “good concepts” every other day, but that doesn’t make her into an architect. Actually, most 1st year architecture students have great concepts, but only a few go on to materialize those concepts into good architecture. Clients sometimes also have “good concepts”, and they go an architect to help them define said concept or translate it into architecture. Someone wrote “Concept: 10″, how so? A house partly made of steel on a poured-in-place, huge concrete base, to be built on a small Caribbean. Let’s see, is there a local concrete plant on the island, not to even consider that steel part, which I’m assuming would be some high grade stainless or titanium as to be able to resist the severe rusting tendency of anything metallic placed next to the water. Finally, why would anyone want to have any solid walls that block the prime view of the pool projecting over the sea? I’m mean, this is a beach house, right? It definitely looks like a bad Denari knockoff [not that Debari is much better anyway]. If this guy is the dean of the school, god have mercy on his poor students. What is he teaching you, how to poorly render crappy architecture? Listen, my old roommate in architecture school was Puerto Rican, and he was an awesome designer, so hopefully this guy is not misrepresenting anyone. Adios</description>

		<description>mart:

Thank you for the information. It seems all of this, and my comments included, are the result of a big misunderstanding. The link in the Archdaily headline as you all can see takes you to the NY office, to which I extend my sincere apologies. After a more careful research everybody can see that this house belongs to another studio named just exactly, to which I also extend my apologies to some extent because the house and its representation, I think, still doesn&#039;t resist a serious observation, hence the first ironic review.

Clearly, Archdaily messed up, which is OK, but, it has made me look like a fool. The least would be an erratum as well as an apology to whomever they think, not to mention a more careful handling of the info next time.

Juan del pueblo: 

Gracias por su aclaración semántica, ha sido muy bien recibida. Razón tiene que al jugar con nacionalismos se pierde valor en el mensaje cualquiera que sea, pero cierto es que hay que tomarse las cosas más a la ligera, por ejemplo, nadie se cree en serio que cuando Los Simpson van a Brazil el país es así, sin embargo el gobierno de ese entonces demandó a la cadena Fox. Lo que quiero decir es que lejos de hacer precisiones, presenté mis observaciones dentro de un tono bromista, o impreciso si prefiere, con la verdad a medias pero jamás beligerante.</description>

		<description>i&#039;m a bit surprised by how this discussion has gone... the website listed is for the wrong firm. http://www.rsvp-architects.com/ is the puerto rican firm that designed this. looking through their portfolio you will see some decent renders and a few more in this debatable style. this is very old (2003), unpublished work by them, btw... maybe they had an intern who sucked back then? maybe they sucked at the computer then? dunno... some of their more recent work seems much better imo. though they are really obsessed with that wrapping concrete ribbon thing.</description>

		<description>One of Culebra&#039;s finest qualities is the amazing light.  I really don&#039;t see how they have made the best use of this extremely dominant element.  Why so &#039;dark&#039;?  Toro Ferrer, Henry Klumb what did you teach us? Anyway, it&#039;s a great intellectual-academic exercise, but I doubt it will ever be built.</description>
