The 'text message' and 'real time navigation' however seem to indicate that the physical/virtual identities are not fully merged, but in fact remain apart. The building 'skin' seems to act very much like a computer screen, and its physical value cannot go far beyond such. The pavilion is designed as a autonomous object 'on display.' Perhaps if it was connected to a functional program it would be more impacting. Could changes in air quality translate into spatial deformations? Could virtual interaction (text messaging) have spatial implications? Regardless of these small critiques, the concept of representing environmental qualities via an architectonic structure is a challenge, and The Living have done a very creative job tackling the situation.
