Kaohsiung Port Terminal

Kaohsiung Port Terminal, designed by #reiser_umemoto_rur in Taiwan, with an approach to #dynamic 3-dimensional urbanism. The building itself resembles a #giant #silver-white ship with a towering “chimney” structure. This also reflects the #maritime character of the port.

The layout #consists of interconnected, spacious #shells built using a steel pipe framework covered with cladding panels to create an #accessible, enclosed space. The terminal is divided into three sections, each #corresponding to a distinct route for ship travel, while the concourses are positioned parallel to the# waterfront to optimize the #connection between water and land.

Cylindrical pavilion

Halo, designed by #softlab, is a cylindrical pavilion in the #public #area around Google’s #headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Its exterior is clad with vertical aluminum tubes, while the interior is formed by a #crystalline structure clad in dichroic acrylic. The dichroic facets of the interior filters light into various #spectrums #determined by the angle of view.

During the day #sunlight entering from the open top of the cylinder reflects off the #iridescent facets of the interior onto visitors and the surrounding ground, painting them with #shifting color and light. At night, LEDs in the upper portions of the #aluminum tubes create an #animated #constellation of light that is filtered through the inner crystalline structure.
