Firstly, I hope we can at least agree that while similar, and while they did a decent job matching a significant part of the spirit of the original design, that the actual realized form differs significantly from that proposal image.
And that that being said, you're going to tell me you don't see how that (above) was probably run through an energy modeler or envelope consultant who came back with a number for how much it would cost to get built/maintain after construction with energy loss, leakages...etc.. and that the solution was to tone down the curves and puffiness look into something more feasible and constructable and which also would lower down the cost?
I'm talking about the skin and the "puffy" curved faces cladding, just to be clear.
Why are we still even debating this?
