This is a highly anti-environmental design and structure.
It has little-if-anything to do with the “nice effort” on using recycled materials.
The above is an unqualified statment of fact, against which there exists no valid reply.
Q 1: if we built a highly-polluting auto using 100% recycled materials, would that also be touted as being “eco-friendly” (environmentally sound and ecologically compatible)?

In fact, the “Chicago Eco-Pavilion by Zaha Hadid Unveiled” will:
(i) create enormous amounts of pollution throughout its lifespan, and
(ii) will require that even more pollution be generated in perpetuity to support it.

Please try in the future to be (at least) minimally accurate. This may require that you learn what “the environment” actually is, how it works, and how its functions are being subverted by such unsound “Hollywood Hype” publishing, touting anti-environmental products to the uneducated masses as being “green built” or “environmentally friendly.” [hint: the cycle of water = "the river of life", as has been known since time immemorial.]

Q 2: How is it that even ancient cultures knew more about the environment than does Inhabitat?
