I liked it. Really nicely done.

You forgot to mention "over budget"


But not much.

You could almost see the producers rubbing their hands with glee at this completely novel construction method - and their disappointment as time went on, and they realized the build was having rather *fewer* problems than a normal build.

They had to manufacture a bit of "bossy designer" tension to have any sense of conflict in the project at all. (And the designer was right - pictures on that curved wall would have looked awful.)
