extended inverted guggenheim spiral

2009
architectural concept
dimensions variable
dummy

the inspiration for extended inverted guggenheim spiral derives from the unique architectural comment of frank lloyd wright's spiral, primary symbol of progress and growth. taking it as a starting point the extended version in black and white seems even more natural than the original, by indicating the potential of the architecture while carefully counter-balancing its actual shape in form and colour while still maintaining its exceptional position in the architectural environment of new york city.
