The most professional entry. Well thought, horizontal and timid like linnahall, then again contemporary in layout, landscape design and architectural language.
Identifiable concept & form. Rich presentation content
With all due respect, i do not consider this a derivative of Harbin project.This is about ribbon and pocket space. The concept is authentic thou may be perceived in similarity if you are judging a book by its cover. We believe concept is the key to timeless architectures and form is sometimes a result of concept. Being iconic does not always have to with how it looks: Pyramids?
Very derivative of Harbin Opera house by MAD
The form works well on the site, but it lacks originality. It is obviously inspired by Harbin Opera House by MAD. How can you make an iconic opera house if you copy it from an existing one?
