[@beatabell723]

Ooo so cool

[@eotikurac]

this is so stupid. it just makes the construction more tedious. zero upsides. clown world.

[@CuratorialProject]

Can you explain your position more clearly? The construction methods discussed here are more advanced/controlled/precise, streamlined, economical, and, ultimately, more beautiful. What other upsides are you looking for?

[@IA100KPDT]

@@CuratorialProject I think besides construction, you need to look at maintenance, livability, safety and practicality. A lot of designs are nice but they belongs to art gallery rather than in a home. take @2:48 Why build a house with all the slanted pillar, a waste of space, killed the light source and risk people knocking into it. To make things worst, there is a step down and when people are not careful, they can trip and fall while paying attention to the head room.

@@IA100KPDT @2:48 is an experimental art gallery:). There is a single sculptural pillar in the center of the exhibition space that simultaneously performs as a structural element. This central piece makes the space plastic, dynamic, and interesting. It is for artists and curators to engage with the space in ways that may not have been tested before and for visitors to respond to their provocations. A gallery can be square, round, or triangular for any number of reasons. Architecture does not start with pragmatics. There are plenty of ordinary spaces in the world. Why repeat what we have seen a thousand times?

[@IA100KPDT]

@@CuratorialProject thats what I said. Its ok to be creative with art galleries and public space but not for home. then again, if the aesthetics posed hidden safety and maintenance issues, it should be discarded because, at the end of the day, its the owner paying for the maintenance and upkeep of the place.

[@CuratorialProject]

@@IA100KPDT Note that the central element is also a stair. Hence, the diagonal form. Another important point is that the architect is the gallery's owner in this case.
