MadeOffice architecture studio has proposed a symbolic design as a recognition of unity around the European Union. The potential project is titled The European Spiral, which rises up from the ground in a circular pattern.
At night the entire building lights up, and is also draped in the flags from the countries involved with the European Union. Interestingly, the flags are mixed together so that it's hard to tell what area belongs to which nation, which is exactly the point. When lit up against the night's sky, the entire structure stands out and acts as a true symbol for the unity of the EU.
The various levels are the building can be accessed through ramps throughout the structure, allowing people to move to the top and see the views from above. Photo Credits: designboom, madeoffice.it
