Prada Makes A Landmark Structure

Any movie that shows the future dazzles us with a wide array of gadgets and gizmos that represent new technology. Flying cars, self-drying jackets and voice-activated hardware are just a few examples. A more subtle part of the illusion is the architecture. Buildings play a silent but critical part on any futuristic landscape.

The Prada Transformer is pioneering the future of unique structural design. It’s a four-sided building whose floor can be any one of its sides. Unfortunately, the transformation of the complex involves the use of cranes and not the Allspark.

It’s an actual construction, penned by Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, and built by Prada with help from LG and Hyundai Motor. It’s framed out of steel and covered entirely with a “smooth elastic membrane” and it will be situated in Seoul, Korea, where it will be used for concerts, fashion shows and other cultural events.

It looks like Seoul is going to be a serious business center for Prada. Hit the source for the full details about this unique structure. Will it mark the beginning of a design revolution?
