Just have to make a quick post, despite fact am not supposed to be using a keyboard (more on that at a later date).
I am filing this architectural soliloquy under W for 'Wank'. The typos have been retained for spite's sake.
'It is the culimination of the proceses her practice has been exploring throgh projects such as the Phaeno Centre, the BMW building, and the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Rome. Traditional architectural elements are dissolved, the arrangement of spaces determined by the composition. Form follows function is an antiquated concept these days, but here function is a mere conceit. Form follows more form.Form rides everything is where parametric modelling leads - an aesthetic darwinism of evolved appearances. You can see it in almost every project to come form the DRL at the AA, the farm team for Zaha Hadid Architects, and where Patrik Schumacher teaches.With this project, walls and roof are united into a sleek 'hull', transformed by parametric process which warped slice and skew the form into a sensuous, sinuous form that rises and twists it's way across the dunes. The sheer beauty of the renderings is breathtaking. I want to inhabit its spaces (virtually). I want to fly through it. I want to explore its surface, its textures and materials. But I have no intention of visiting it.'

Harsh, but she has always inspired that sort of frothing overbabble.
He's also fallen into the old, old, old argument that her work was better when it was unbuilt, which is the silliest sort of nonsense.
Check her early AA work, and there are some wonderful re-imaginings of London and Madrid in particular.
