I wouldnt really say subservient. All of those factors are present yes, but in this case the site is the main factor in the project. The site dictated the design and materials. Is there a problem with that?
Sorry, I was unclear. I meant they are willing to explore making a form that isn't rigid, that deflects according to site conditions - in this case wind - and material quality - in this case flexible plastic and string. It's a beautiful idea and well-implemented.

Lovely. And again they are willing to make form subservient (in part) to material/site conditions. Lovely.

well... since they didn't physically visit the site until it was nearly completely designed may inform your opinion.
