good job Bjarke!  I'm always a fan of your concepts and architecture

[johnekroll]

hope to see it built one day

@AltinD72 I want to see you do something better.

Nice! you have to teach Rojdking not only not to be an empty fashion glass follower, but a fashion loose Mexican Diva, into your analysis approach.

I like your special critic and view to share. The process, the freshness and not pretentious way of explain why your projects are like they are. For me, your friend Rodking has NOTHING to do with you, maybe looks have confuse you, haircuts does not necessary describe a good architect.

Best!

i see this concept from your comic. i think its a great concept. You have a great form, not just form, but you have great taste!

[bellatrix02]

well, you have to give them some credit for not just copying those generic skyscrapers.

[AltinD72]

Yes, yes ... you shade an area and suddenly it bustles with life and outdoor activities.

Not only that, but the whole concept idea is so flawed that one doesn't have to be a real architect, a structural or a civil engineer to take it all with a grain of salt.

Gee, one just have to have spent some times living here to find fundamental flaws ... courtyards on the roof? LOL

[archigene]

the structural and facade engineers will have to scratch their heads a bit on this one. and the roof of the building (the tabletop) is going get so hot. nice idea - but it does hog the sky a bit...

[myksweet]

Depending on longitude, latitude, elevation, etc., a building sites relation to the arc of the sun's angle is very calculable and avoidable. I'm thinking if you also anled at 45 degrees on the compass rather than sqaure to it, you would minimize sun exposure.

[HectorCorcin]

I wonder how much of energy saves by tilting the facades.. The sun is not always at that angle... the interior and north facades don't need the tilt either... but I like the idea of thinking everything from the beginning and not only copy architecture from other parts of the world. Great !

[architeckture]

Awesome! Really is a good design, well done guys
