"This fantastic, hovering blob will be Archigram's revenge for its many earlier disappointments, for competition-winning schemes that were never realised. [...] And to me it is Archigram at its best. [...] At last we will have a building worthy of their true spirit, albeit 35 years too late. Of course part of Archigram's potency was its ability to initiate by going beyond what was possible, and some might argue that its ideas and messages were not intended to be built. But I believe the fact that this will be built, after so long, gives credibility to Archigram's mid '60s predictions. The amorphous quality of the form, internally and externally, manages to escape the language of a building type, which was one of the major points of Archigram in the twentieth century." Will Alsop*
"Two European scholarship students of the MAK-Schindler Artists and Architects in Residence Program in Los Angeles initially intended to develop a prototype of a "case study house" for the present in their course of their six-months stay. During their investigations of the case study program, the buildings and the circumstances of their development, Roland Oberhofer and Nicolas Février became aware of the changes that Los Angeles had undergone since they were built. Today's problems are not so much related to the necessity of producing additional residential buildings but rather to urban planning approaches such as the issue of public space for the inhabitants of the metropolis."
