I see no obvious way for this structure to be held up efficiently. Even if it could be built, the concrete and steel neccessary would easily surpass that of a “boring” verticle skyscraper, possibly by multiple factors. This is not a green building. Even if the running costs were low, the initial construction costs would more than cancel out any benefit. This building is definitely a toy for the first world.

There is a reason that skyscrapers are mostly verticle – It’s the most funicular form when loading gravitational forces!

It’s nice looking but impractical.

On 29 January 1967 Jorn Utzon, who had submitted a revolutionary design concept, was declared winner of the Bennelong Point Opera House competition. Utzon’s design had been pulled from a reject pile by the Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, one of four jury members deciding the competition. Taken by Utzon’s diagrammatical sketches, Saarinen harangued his colleagues into unanimity……….Thank God for that !

Jose, CONGRATS!!! For thinking Outside of the BOX!!!
This is the kind of things that makes you think on where are we as society and where are we going.
The impact on the futuristic look versus the ordinary landscape is huge and as a piece of art is phenomenal.
And come-on if this where already built who wouldn’t want to live or visit this building!
Keep up the good work and Ideas

Wow. Sometimes I forget just how few people are visionaries. But then I get to read all of these sad comments.

Jose did this project as a student at Columbia University (GSAPP) under Asymptote’s Hani Rashid. It had/has no intentions of being built. It was simply a student project study. Nothing more and nothing less.

YUST A COMMENT ABOUT MR. MUNOZ VILLERS, AT FIRST LOOKS AVANT GARDE, SIMPLE AND ETHEREAL WITH AN OUTHER SPACE REMINICENCE, SO FAR SO GOOD, BUT COMONG TO THIS EARTH I DO NOT SEE SOMETHING LIKE IN THE NEXT – 100 – YEARS.
I AGREE, ARQ. IS FOR PEOPLE, PEOPLE OF TODAYS, NOT FOR THE FUTURE.

IT IS FOR ME, NOTHING MORE THAN A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO A VERY REAL AND URGENT PROBLEM.

DREAMING DO NOT COST, BUT SOME TIMES, THEY DO NOT SOLVE NOTHING, BUT KEEP DREAMING.
