Many moons ago I went to the Expo in Lisbon and sneak previews like that make me really wish I was still a curator and being able to do things like that myself.
Standing like a giant piece of papercraft, this building is from Poland-based WWA Architects. To be fair, Poland is not a country you would normally associate with such stunning architecture.
Construction on this Shanghai-based exhibition hall will start next year.
Implications - There is no set date for its completion, but I'm impressed with this concept and design. It combines a futuristic swagger with standard avant-garde imagery. WWA Architects defines modernity with this concept.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Papercraft-inspired Architecture
- New architectural designs will incorporate papercraft and other traditional art forms to create futuristic-looking buildings.
- Fusing Tradition and Modernity
- The use of traditional art forms and materials in modern architecture will bring about a fusion of different cultures and styles.
- Three-dimensional Art Forms in Architecture
- Architects will incorporate three-dimensional art forms into buildings to create unique and visually stunning designs.
Where This Applies
- Architecture
- The architecture industry will see a rise in demand for unconventional and visually striking building designs.
- Art and Design
- New opportunities will arise for artists and designers to collaborate with architects and bring traditional art forms into modern building designs.
- Construction
- Innovative construction techniques and materials will be needed to bring these new, visually complex designs to life.
