The UNStudio Galleria Cheonan Lets Loose At Night

— November 11, 2009 — World
When I visited Chicago and saw the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, I thought that was impressive until, of course, I stumbled upon the UNStudio Galleria Cheonan. This impressive building has two personalities. By day it maintains a somewhat reserved facade that, by night, is stripped away to reveal a dazzling exhibitionist.

Designed for Korea, the UNStudio Galleria Cheonan is a three-storey fun house. Check out gallery, courtesy of DesignBoom.com, to see what I mean. Make sure to visit their site for more info and images.
