Back in 2008, a devastating fire tore through the Bouwkunde building where the Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology resided, resulting in a loss of more than just a structure, but also a home base for many students and faculty. To put the tragedy in the past, the university set out to start anew with a design competition to rebuild the Bouwkunde that would focus on community, sustainability, and adaptability. One of the most impressive design proposals is from Adam Wojtalik, who has envisioned a solar-panel clad structure that resembles the biggest skateboard ramp you’ve ever seen.

what i find interesting in this 'story' is that it has been picked up at all. it is one of many many entries.
it was shown on dezeen as part of their Polish design special and now gets coverage on various blogs.
i have nothing against that, but there were many other entries that didn't get exposure. good one you Adam.
thats the internet and blogs.
