Hi
Then what's wrong with one at a third the cost four times the lasting, with replacable steel structure hidden behind exact panels ; how often do you put your head inside a wall to enjoy the low-tech steelextrudes.
How often do you want to experience the building from within the structure.
What's wrong that you can start up in steel , use it as mold for concrete and steelframe ontop and within. Please I am a boatbuilder, I know nothing about houses but I know what plywood is ; a house in scandinavia have mass in a different way than standard american homes, and when I say a 3D-H is strong it seem you are used a bit more weak. Here in Dk. a nice modern airport building was saved and moved by hydralics at the other end of the site, where it stand looking nice ; this is how things shuld be, but why be arogant about somthing that will provide the same style at a thire four times as strong in replacable frame assembly building structure hidden behind formworks. --- If now you get one in even better materials, much better than the one you spend tree times at, with no garentie it will hold an earthquake.
