Our two entries for the D. Areopagitou 2008 competition. Theme of the competition was a design that will rethink the relation of Tschumi's New Museum, the Acropolis and the two historical building that are found between the two. Our first entry got a mention and the second one the second price. The competition site here.(in collaboration with Katerina Tryfonidou, Theodora Christoforidou, Fotis Vassilakis, Vasilis Ntovros)

VERY problematic similitude with the work of Francois Roche (R&Sie)!!!
I would even talk about copy...

If you are judging from visual point of you, probably....but the similarities are like the zebra with the prisoner!
I guess also surprised there is suddenly a robot on four legs appearing...
a robot activating/placing pixel (voxel) in space...
those pixel are re-creating a dynamic morpholgy/facade system...
the whole unfortunately without the usual magic scenario & graphic of R&Sie...
you are becoming the prisonner of your own references...

I don't think that R&Sie invented the robotic arm!! It is rather naive to find the similarities in the technology that is used (and is not used for the first time by neither of the projects) At any case there is not enough information for this project, so you can not really talk about similarity or not...
