据说还有一个这样的插曲。在HELMOND那个项目的公众听证会上,一个当地的环保分子忽然站了起来,在大庭广众冲着BLOM愤愤地说:“The people of this region don't need anything more than a tree to live in!!!”大意是:我们不需要房子!我们要树林!
BLOM的回答非常机敏:“The project is clearly a cubist depiction of a forest. The houses are built upon concrete brick "trunks" and the paving between them resembles the forest floor.”
