Gryphon, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but... no, actually, no I'm not. Your assessment is just plain wrong. This isn't just designed for aesthetic purposes - it's designed for disaster relief, giving people shelter after, say, an earthquake hits. While it almost certainly won't just be used for that, because it's a very convenient, easily-constructed model for densely-populated places like China's urban areas or Japan's Japan, this is an enormous, safe building that can be constructed very, very quickly. Instant non-tent refugee camp, just add running water and power. I'm in favour of that, if it means less people are without shelter when natural disasters hit.
