Big in China… Coop just Bau no Himmel no Blau. For those you speak german. He cares more for building than to design.

Some architects just don’t give up do they…coop himmelbau should be selling schnitzels back in vienna instead pretending their architects

I believe they are sun shading devices, most effective on southern facade. But I am not sure how it would work on the eastern and western facades. May be the curved areas are intended for these facades. I am not sure though without the specific site information. So I think it is about 40 % functional and 60 % decorative.

I wonder what these curved stripes on the facade are for.. Anything more than ornament?
