If they make a natural looking skyline that's fantastic, although I don't know if my eyes would be fooled into thinking they weren't big piles of metal.I like their site layout plan a lot, very nicely drawn. Cute even. I like the mountains too, I think. If they make a natural looking skyline that’s fantastic, although I don’t know if my eyes would be fooled into thinking they weren’t big piles of metal.

In my opinion this is ugly as hell. It just reminds me of some ugly urban theme park. If the project did go through it should reference Gehry's Disney concert hall. The shiny metallic material will surely blind anyone and everyone who goes there. The reflections will be horrible. But if they do cover the facades with solar panels that might take care of that problem. The sustainable side of this project is really cool. I just cant stand projects designed to 'represent the mountains ' or some other artistic crap. Form follows function baby! I am not going to dispute your artistic taste my friend.

Even if it got built, what are the chances it would end up looking this good? Nice rendering, but how on earth can anyone afford to carry this out.
