Architects dreaming. We’d all live in beams of light or illustrious green domes. Carousel! Carousel!

The medium may be dying but that building is sweet. Can’t wait to see what these dudes do next week.

You can have all the experience in the world and it will not matter when you come to do another project. Every building is its own unique challenge. So you cannot judge expertise from models or concept sketches. Either of these architecture firms could be perfect or ill suited to design the brief at the duel. Outcome will be up for grabs.
