Exterior of the Raw House by Metropolitan Office Experimental

连城别墅有着明显的先见之明-其中包括北京附近的长城公社、首尔的李姆三星艺术博物馆(Leeum Samsung Museum Of Art)和福冈的尼克斯世界住宅(Nexus World Home)-但让这个项目与众不同的是一项总体计划，将6座相当可观的房屋(五栋新建的，再加上原来的家庭宅邸)整合成一个和谐的整体。更重要的是，每所房子都有一个独特的视觉dna，无论是设计部的Zig Zag House，狗腿围绕着三个内部庭院；PODesign的8盒屋的乱七八糟的立方体，可以作为电影“盗梦空间”(Inception)的集合；大都会办公室实验的原始屋的大画廊空间；鸟巢的意外出现-就像飞出扎奇合作公司的壁画茶室一样。当然，目前还不可能量化连城别墅最终会有多大的开创性和影响力-至少对下一代建筑师是如此-但作为日本建筑师空光根(Kengo Kuma)，在“无界限”的前言中指出，这些别墅是“试图创造一个新的房屋原型”，以取代混乱的建筑模式。以及20世纪不环保的郊区建筑。这一企图本身就值得赞扬。
