The facade of our Aero Twist Building was inspired by the Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen who designed a dress for her aeriform collection.
We tried to think forward and managed to create a new and futuristic design with obvious similarities to Van Herpen’s dress. After we had analyzed the dress, we divided the facade into several sections with irregular curved and sharp edges. The futuristic design stands out by the visible vertical twist.
