No. These are different things. One’s an illusion. One’s real.

You’re right. It’s just cheap junk, boring and drab.

so I skimmed

Okay.

It looks like a twist because it does a twist.

No, it’s an illusion at scale. You almost say so yourself in your next sentence.

There’s no angle where you realize the windows don’t actually change planes.

Discreet flat planes constitute an illusion of a curve at scale. There are no curved components. They used offsets and angles in the outer layer. All the windows are flat planes. You can see the rectangles yourself just as you can see the triangles in a geodesic structure’s approximation of a complex curve.

A modern true curve is still often made from wood. If there’s money it’s laminated I-beam. But, curving or twisting structural steel is breaking all sorts of cardinal rules. Assuming safety is valued, cost rises exponentially from construction through build out and into maintenance and repair. An exception is large ships. That’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s very obvious you’re now trying to make a point

An artist and an engineer were given a modest budget and found a way to ask an obvious question to which the is answer is: It depends upon the perspective each of us chooses.

If you look closely you can see the flat planes and angles. There are no curves. You can see the truth of it yourself. It’s right there.

They’re obviously some intelligent people to be designing such things at all. Imagine how many times they’ve been talking about some subject or another and said, “Hey, friend, if you look more closely you can see (whatever truth) for yourself.”

Then the other person says, “It twists.”

Amazing piece of art, huh?

I’m “on about” the quality of communication that defines humans from the other animals, which has been in a nosedive for a quarter century, which is now so heavily corrupted it’s leading us to our doom.

What are you on about? Minimization and what else?

So, it’s an illusion made out of entirely untwisted components. Imagine that.

It’s truthful. I cared enough to tell them.

Wow. I’ve never before seen a comment history so devoid of content and with so little care for presentation that it was reasonable to no longer want to see their posts.

It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.

I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

Karlatornet (lit. ‘The Karla Tower’, initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper under construction by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden.

I don’t like what you’ve said so you’re a troll. We don’t serve your kind around here.

SMRT.

For adults: box knife with a jig consisting of a fence and stop block

For children: auto-retract safety knife and add a second fence to keep the blade enclosed

A child learns nothing but dependance on stupid gadgets from the device in the OP.

And, it sucks relative a box knife, straight edge, and stop block. The only decent use case I’ve seen presented is for the small minority of developmentally disabled individuals that require extreme safety measures.

Such limitations aren’t received well by intelligent and ethical others. Best of luck.

That’s great. Use this thing. It’s what I’d give my developmentally disabled 55 year old uncle as well.

But, it’s definitely not what I’d teach my child or the vast majority of other children. A typical child only needs a couple of safety accommodations relative an adult: an auto-reteact safety knife and a double fence.

No rational response, huh?

Cutting carboard with scissors? It can be done, but it’s a chore amd the results are poor. I wouldn’t wish it on school children.

Your tools probably suck.

Any knife and straight edge is faster and easier. Any warehouse worker knows this. Any compost bin is better than cat scratchers. Any environmentalist knows this.

For scissors I recommend Fiskars titanium nitride. Just yesterday they gave me a nice curve in 1/16th aluminum. Cardboard cuts like a hot knife through butter. And, I bet they cost less than the materials used in the tool in the OP.

Box knife reco: any metal housing without an auto-retract safety feature but with a retractable blade

Knife reco: Morakniv Companion: cheap, sharp, extremely versatile.

Aviation snips reco: Klein J1102S will take 12" cheater bars and be fine

Fence: use a metal level instead of a metal ruler to prevent mistakes

People have been interested in useless gadgets since capitalism has mandated perpetual increase in consumption. It’s now so bad that the solution to all problems is needless consumption.
