From the perspective of AESS, the project makes some excellent choices in the combination of a galvanized coating with a very technical looking set of connections. These will be introduced in Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel and the project expanded in this book in terms of the design sequence and fabrication. New Zealand has a very active steel industry. It is also a high seismic zone, which should add some interesting issues to the discussion of complexity.

The topic of castings was introduced in Understanding Steel Design and this provides an opportu- nity to elaborate on that information through this detailed project. The incorporation of castings (especially of this size) adds significant complexity to a project.

I intend to approach the designers for additional details through some contacts I made at Tsing- hua University when I was invited to present a lecture there in December 2013. There is certainly very little available at present online about this project, which should make it very interesting for the readers. Although I was only able to obtain close to finished shots during my visit, iam hopeful that the designers will be keen to publish this work.

From the perspective of AESS detailing, it is a good project to show how the architectural aes- thetic is achieved through the larger moves of the overall form and primary structure, and that constructability has been achieved in the use of pretty straightforward connection details.

I had the opportunity to visit the site to take the included construction photos and have a trip coming this winter to take photos of the completed building as the exhibits are being installed. The final piece is quite spectacular in terms of its form generation. I am hoping here to also tell the story about the work of Predock, who starts with clay models to look at form, and how these inspire and must be transformed to create the final building.

I have a large amount of material on this project and can fairly easily create something that look: fresh by carefully examining what has been used before. It is also my intention that the drawings and images in these studies be larger than was possible in Understanding Steel Design, so will be able to bring forth a new look to the project.

Aspects of the connections and AESS choices will be addressed in Architecturally Exposed Struc- tural Steel as this project is presently the cover for the book. It is the sheer amount of detailed information that I have on this project, amongst others, that made me decide to undertake a book and writing approach that would make it suitable to highlight the project in a great amount of detail. It will permit the reader a more comprehensive understanding and appreciation of the work and timeline of such projects.

This project also serves to speak about the very different methods of steel construction that have emerged in China - the use of concrete filled steel tubes. This construction method is almost never used in North America and Europe as it is very labor intensive and requires a lot of site welding. Its use is spreading to the Middle East who also has access to inexpensive labor.

As it is taking a very long time for the building to be complete, and the public gallery portion is not yet open, it is my hope to be able to access this part of the project to obtain my own interio1 photos and experience to be able to include this in the book.

Some of the AESS aspects with respect to its detailing and connections will be introduced in Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel to initiate some interest in the project.
