I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

In response to the broad criticism of the project’s detailing. This is China, not Geneva. The trades are not well developed, trade integration is not so developed, material quality is a constant struggle, and no one is going to give you years to fuss with every detail, let alone a month.

Design critique aside, that this was built as well as it was in China is commendable.

Looks like a beautiful building, even without some of the extravagant detailing that could have been done. Stunning.

fp,

Do you have any more insider info on the construction progress? Sounds interesting…

to add to the pseudo architecturel discussion: the structure of this building consits of metal colums, metal beams and a metal spaceframe-like substructure in between. furthermore a layer of insulation between the outside timber and the inside plasterboards. the outside metal-like surface is glassfiber with a layer of paint. to archenx: if the roof was designed for walking and touring as you so brightly suggested, you would have to add handrails and a ladder and end up with a thicker roof package and a poor looking building. i believe you haven’t build in china yet? just some inside knowledge: it took seven different contracters and structural engineers to even get this building that far. if you could check the renderings and diagrams at the beginning you would see that it s not far off. i also suggest to see it as what it is: a build concept rather than a pritzker prize winning masterpiece

No provisions for curtains, bad grating detail, entry canopy is mis-aligned with the curvilinear water, poor pool rail detail, poor jam detail and bad selection of hinge and door handle for the white door panel, poor main door handle detail.

but great form! the roof fold into a wall dictated the program of space. brilliant!

Since the roof is framed by timbers (the steel-rib is too expensive for manufactured), the shape is only designed for the shape. what a pity. The gound-up related roof should be used for walking and touring.

The waving roof was poorly structured as the wooden-ribs and detail is really weak. Furthermore, where is the diagrams? Pure formalism again? Woops, that is hadid-liked student__Ma.
