No handrail on external staircase seems like a poblem, and code violation, however. An examination of the Steven Holl images page ( www.aiatopten.org/hpb/images.cfm?ProjectID=839 , click on 'watercolor') shows that there's a semingly very green approach being used to treat this water. Does this facility also then add Chlorine, Alum and other chemicals as well ? This project seems to build on the pioneering work of Dr. John Todd and his 'living machines' water treatment systems ( www.oceanarks.org ). Is this an accurate observation ? Cool design.

Looks more like "lightbulb" or "keyhole" shape to me. ;) I took a look at the other 9 winners, and this has the most organic and natural looking shape.

The neighborhood had no clue what was being built there... I didn't even know untill I happened upon the project in an exhibit. It's a really nice space and has several paths and benches for dog walkers and other people like that. This is right across the dam from my house.
