construction 1999-2000

An apparently simple, but actually rather expressive membrane worn, like a glove, on a hard and extremely rational technological core. During the creation of this image the technological limitations of the constructional system selected by the client were overcome and treated more as «technological opportunities».
Regrettably, our hopes that the building would match the quality of our favourite make of car did not come true.
This project was nominated for the «Golden Section» award for best building design in 1999.
