Well, aesthetically speaking, it looks like a sloppy pile of broken down cardboard boxes. I bet it would shake like a wet dog in a stiff breeze, too.

Assuming those are apartments though, it might not be all that unpleasant a living area individually with all that outdoor space.

But, like the showy CGI renderings of the Boeing Dreamliner, all that space and gee-whiz stuff will give way to practical reality and economics. If built, they will not waste nearly that much of the building envelope on porches and verandas in the sky. That would be true no matter what method of construction used or the nature of the building materials.
