I beg to differ, it seems so irony :P

the building might be Louis Sullivan inspired one, but it works in contemporary way. Maybe the Murtinho+Raby Arquitectos is the first firm that reconnect and rethink about Louis Sullivan building.

Yes, it does seem Louis Sullivan inspired.

interesting but when i look at the typical floor plate it does not look as the most effective way of splinting it.would be nice to have interior views of the office space, i think that all those glass fins may create a lot of indirect reflections, also don’t quite get why the external envelope is not properly insulated with some very apparent cold bridges.

Nice concept – expressing the materiality is fantastic as is the attention to environmental conditions with the vertical glass fins.

Keeping the form simple and then exploring materiality and tectonics is what architecture is all about!

I don’t like it.
I’ve been there in there is absolutly nothing special about, not in the formal aspect nor any other aspect.

It’s just another comercial building in the area with no real interest to give something for real to the city, and just helps to increase de stratification of the city.

shit of a project in my opinion
