Designed in collaboration with Carlo Ratti Associati, the building’s aluminium facade is marked by a dynamic interplay of orthogonal pin-striped fins. The main entrance, a sheltered 18-metre-tall alcove, has been dubbed the City Room. This vibrant outdoor area, peppered with sculptural works and greenery, serves as usable social spaces for the community; at night, the space is lit up with a warm glow, allowing one to enjoy the play of light and shadows.
