Shots on the website are really good and the coverage seems thorough.

Pretty sure this is another new one for me.

It's not a contemplative building.
Somehow I associate the core of Wright's work

Thanks for posting the drawings SDR.
The perspective is cool.

Siza built a building with a flying corridor that reminds me of this.

What's the story of this building?
Anybody got drawings?
(flying ramps somewhat similar to those proposed at Price Tower)

I would say that Wright's work,
or the Hannah House in particular
