Yes, very cool - it's amazing how architecture is becoming more and more interactive.

The developer is a crook.... my gfs father did the interior design work for the models and the developer doesn't want to pay the bill.

Herzog & de Meuron does great work!!

I am building a couple of blocks away from there.

It looks weird and good at the same time.

Reminds me of like Kun-fu Hustle, or Projects in like some china place... i dunno... looks kinda shaggidy.
