Beautiful images, fantastic renderings, dramatic lighting, cool shapes, expressive colors... but what it has to do with the real architecture?
We can call it "digital architecture", 20-30 yrs ago it would have been called a "paper architecture". I like it. I really do. It's cool, fresh, innovative, modern, bold - just let's not pretend that somebody really intends to build it ;)
P.S. Actually most of the presented images are way better than those annoyed and repetitive visualizations from the starchitects.
P.P.S. In fact, I've written a separate piece about digital vs. real architecture issue, its called "Form & Function: degradation of the dilemma"
