Shell House in Japanese Woods/by Artechnic


Nice job of sculptural design and construction. Usually flowing shapes don't work out. (I really dislike that little sculptural wooden temple by Sea Ranch; there's just something wrong there, in spite of the craftsmanship.) This is a nice job with concrete and wood and still a bit of Japanese tradition.

Aesthetically, there are some sweet curves in this work, but does living in it feel like being the meat in the enchilada? It also looks like the tree doesn't like now being the focus of all the attention. They usually don't adapt well, especially when roots are seperated from all the rest of the forest community. I think Blue Sky learned that lesson too.
