Prada Groundbreaking Transformer

2009 January 16

Here’s the world’s first Transformative building, designed by Rem Koohaas, for Prada.  It’s Opening this March in Seoul, Korea.

The building is a tetrahedron structure that can be transformed into four distinct shapes. Once a month, cranes will lift and rotate the structure into a different facade and floor plate configuration.

For each event, the pavilion will have a distinct interior design, furniture, lightning and items.

The entire structure will be wrapped with an elastic translucent membrane. For the entrance, the membrane is cut and can be opened or closed with zippers.

It’s being built to house Prada art and fashion events, and I can’t swear by it, but I think it’s only up until August.

Rem Koohaas also designed Prada’s flagship store in Soho.
