Uhhh no, if you actually read what I said I said "Aqua influenced other buildings" and then when questioned about it, I said "The building techniques were revolutionary and have been copied many times". I've quoted myself again below so you can actually read what I said instead of just deciding for yourself that I said something I didn't...

Man there are a lot of Aqua-influenced designs out there these days. I guess thats a good sign you did something right.

I think that building is ass ugly, but its very clearly influenced by Aqua. Hell, the building technique that allows such horizontal, cantilevered, topography was invented specifically for the construction of Aqua and is already being used on several other buildings. I would suspect the the Aqua formwork will be used here as well.

In neither of these comments do I said anything about "funny shapes" or "wavy balconies" being some sort of revolution in aesthetics. Its quite clear that I've been talking about the techniques that have allowed such horizontal topography to be cost effective...
