"What a rip off"
this is totally a MAD Architects rip off for the "contemplating the void" project.
I want my 50 dlls back!!!!!
The instructor must have split the prize money with the jury.
I cannot believe anybody in their right mind could actually think that this is a clever idea but a really STUPID one.
I still cant believe that guy is an architecture instructor!! what a shame for chicago architecture.
Im serious about my 50 dlls you thieves!

just to prove my point for this plagiarizer
vinny himself
and, by your argument, MAD is a ripoff of diller scofidio + renfro hirshhorn

actually, 3 separate projects; 3 different ideas. all balloons are not alike.
If you want balloons, watch 'Up'.
At least Vinny will know what idea to use next time.
My goodness, such venom. I think the winning project is simply beautiful. I'd love to see it built. I bet 'the big yellow balloon' would attract as much attention (and revenue) for the city as does the 'big silver bean.'
