Visually it looks very bulky, unsafe & prison like.

I like Morphosis ones better!!
This doesn't fit into Shilin's city context at all!!
It looks all wrong....

Morphosis's Performing Arts Center has a much more flowing form which fit into this area perfectly. Plus the architecture does not seems so bulky!

I totally agree with all of you guys' comments. just the name brought the 1st prize to OMA office. Honestly, it looks like a crap with the weird sphere...
