kengo kuma is on a roll....of making crappy work...his time is up with this piece of garbage and the earlier thing with the plants growing...

I have to agree with you, Jessie. I really love some of his previous work... but this doesn't impress me much. I only like the 4th picture. The setting is amazing and it must provide some great views of the landscape. Too bad we only have pictures of the exterior and no plans/sections... it's hard to get the whole idea of the building like this. I wonder how the guests will experience the hotel...

kengo is one of my favourite architect, but i have to admit that kengo lose his identity in this building. some of his previous work are much better.

kengo is one the most over-rated architects. go to the mountains kengo and seek pennance for all misguiding youthful architects...

with those location and view kuma should have made something more meaningful than this..
