I am so excited to learn more about this building. I saw Kazuyo Sejima talk a little bit about it last year, and the purity of this undulating monochromatic environments looked utterly dream like. However, the only review i have read of it said that it felt cold and empty...but i question whether if this is actually the case...the writer suggested once inhabited by students it will be completely transformed. Maybe I'm just extremely SANAA biased, and a bit of a nut case but "cold and sterile" is a better feeling to evoke than mediocre. I mean without feeling that, how would we know a space that is warm and welcoming? It looks deliciously plastic and very SANAA! have you read any reviews yet?
oooh merci beaucoup for this! I was watching this on luxuryculture.com but the video couldn't work after 2mins for me
