Democratic architecture should not be lowered to the level of highrise offices. Furthermore, this design presents a fragmented government with no unity or apparent heirarchy. There is a reason our current capitol has a central dome (a symbol of unity), and equal sized wings that demonstrate the system of checks and balances. Great renderings, but the concept should be applied to a corporation, not our nation's capitol.
Would Alaska need a capitol building that large though...
Alaska?
It's just a massing, but it's a terrible massing for something so central. It just wouldn't work, architecturally, for the site of the Capitol Building.

Its not a bad building at all, its just that it would make a great corporate headquarters as opposed to the main structure of the US government.
I visited DC one time and I think the entire city needs a big makeover. It just doesn't feel like the true capitol of such an awesome nation outside of the mall. Anyone else agree?
