Maldito Niemeyer
It really looks like Brazilian’s Architect Oscar Niemeyer on his worst moments. Bad white architecture that doenst interact at all with the enviroment. This concrete spaceship could be very well landed in Mars.
Great design. Needs potted trees and other vegetation to create interesting shadows on structure.
Don’t want to be really mean, as it’s a bit more interesting than a concrete box, but it really is not that different to early ferro cement structures of the ‘Hamburger Heaven’ or ‘Hotdog House’ variety. Please Please take some endeavour to include some carbon negative inclusions. We all know it’s in a carpark, but include some trees, some planting of some description.
Super important, especially when it’s all concrete construction … you owe a bit.
this is a really new concept, and I like it very much.
Well done Takeshi Hosaka
Painfully ugly.
