Mahesh Senagala . Quite a thrilling project. Very well done and presented. Provocative images and concepts. Strong visuals. I really enjoyed the sectional montages and the sophistication demonstrated in the use of a range of digital media. Innovative architectural and urban applications. Playful yet rigorous. There is a paradoxical mix of a modernist utopian spirit coupled with, what I would call "critical pragmatism" that powerfully paints a compelling urban vision.

Chris Sharples . Its a fun project. The presentation was clear and concise and well sequenced. It would benefit the project to do more photomontages and an animation of the dwelling unit during its programmatic reconfiguration. Where is the car parked at night?

Hani Rashid . Given the premise of this competition one has to ask what exactly does this project have to do with digital tools other than accomplished rendering? Beneath the glossy seductive images, there might be the beginnings of a discourse concerning a digital societies, networked urbanism, despair and so on. Also, it would have been interesting to see some mvrdv-ist statistics to back up the premise.

Brian Johnson . Nice digital presentation of an architectural proposal, if slightly sexist.

Carmina Sanchez . Familiar idea as the author(s) indicate (I did a project like this twenty years ago). Yours is well developed: excellent 3D models, scenes, graphic composition. Very stiff people will live in this urban parasite!. The web site could be better designed - not just a slide show.
