Any opinions??
note: design supposedly taken from sailboats


It might have been copied by some nancy-pants design-ah who
looked at pictures of sailboats, notices that they have
curves, but didn't understand anything at all about what the
curves *do*.

Design is functional. This brief leaves of any mention of
what the benefits the proposed features have, other than it
looks "cool." Will the curved & slightly twisted building
offer any practical improvement over a square one?

IMHO people who "design" stuff like this ought to be set to
work with a shovel, doing something practical with their
lives. When they understand the beauty of utility, then they
can start designing stuff again.
