The most interesting thing in this project is the idea of the roof garden.the architect exploited the roof using some plants to show gardens.the building itself seems to be 2 shapes intersecting each others with some changes in levels,and its so related to the surroundings.Absolutely,its a very good example of green architecture.

I liked this project very much, except its entry. The entry looks a bit obscured. Its internal spaces are quite impressive, but it deserved to be a bit more interactive with the surroundings also, I think. overall, its an interesting project.

“Three rings, each at different levels, interlaced at the center”
= a guiding tool for the visitors or the clients as they know that each ring will contain a loop for either living/dining, or the sports/entertainment, or the private rooms/support
= very clear technique & interesting interaction

“Providing shortcuts to destinations within the house that minimize redundant movements” is not the only advantage of the arrangement.. It also creates life & provides varying shade effect in the paths which makes the circulation experience a pleasant one.

Choosing the court yard house as a concept is very powerful & turns into a successful space. Well done

It takes no consideration to its surroundings, even though that is somewhat of the idea behind it. In the description it talks of vast nothingness, but in the renders its showing bright green grass growing. Not only in the project but around it. Weak project overall, more so the concept. A nice idea of creating flow of space, but fails in its realization of the concept.

I liked much, it’s a bit like a labyrinth, or a castle… There is a cool ludic dimension. Circulation space is not necessarily a bad thing, in this case lots of things seem to happen there, by looking at the sections. Very nice project!

that’s freakin’ huge. really too many stairs. it’s like an Escher project. so much circulation space, that all you do is walk around in your own home? what if you break a leg or have a buggy for your kids?

THE SCALE OF THIS DESIGN IS REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND, THE LOOPING STRUCTURE MAKE IT SEEMINGLY MUCH BIGGER INSTEAD OF BREAKING THE SCALE DOWN, THE VIEWS OF THOSE INTERIOR COURTS LOOKS LIKE THE SCALE OF A 6/7 STORIES UNIVERSITY OR OFFICE BLDG

100 projects and no one of the architects said SORRY, i am not worthy. Instead some of them TRY and TRY and TRY to design…

…something.

Architecture need honesty.

A simple project will not be GREAT only because ORDOS call you.

I agree that it looks like an overgrown bunker, but I like it because of that. The sections show that there are some interesting spaces and relationships.

There’s a certain “piling on” that happens on this site in regards to the ORDOS projects. I don’t particularily like this design, it seems like a tedium of circulation for such a small building, but it’s not a nightmare.

Like anything, it’s easier and more fun to rant than to generate a reasoned critique.

I’d have to say, my primary critique of the ORDOS project has less to do with the specific architectural decisions of these individual projects, and more to do with the somewhat blatant presentation of architecture as a class signifier.

ORDOS project requires villas to be 1000sqm.
