^ In projects like this one, it's really the engineering that's interesting.... the architect's role is mostly just cooking up something to drive the engineers crazy. I don't see anything especially appealing about the design from an architectural sense, but I don't know the context or reason behind it. I could see something like this working very well, for instance, in downtown Chicago where there was a historic building underneath the cantilever.
Mostly though, I'm curious to see how the engineers handle tht one...
