sponsered by military? Looks like insides moved to the outside - a sort of Richard Rogers/Piano, "Pompedou" design don't you think?

just terrible.. wonder why designboom is posting such a crap...
Doktor Eisenfaust   09.29.10
What about the antenna issue? If the jacket is metallic, it will keep the low signal or even make it get worse.
Alexandre Lemos   09.29.10

BAD   09.29.10
I totally diagree with all this criticism, the constructivist approach is welcome, the diversity of design approach is important.
