Tanagrams have blanketed commercial architecture around the globe. From mirrored paneling to glass bulges, fluid and reflective edges continue to make their mark. Recently, we highlighted a few examples ranging from fashion to product design. Today’s focus hits architecture in Melbourne, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore.
This glistening triangular sculpture is a pile of dynamic energy against it’s natural surroundings at the McClelland Sculpture Park in Melbourne, Australia. Revealing luxury at it’s height, design legend, Jean Paul Gaultier shares his balcony with Elle Decor. Giving us an exercise in tasteful innovation, Herzog and de Meuron have brought us Tokyo’s Prada store with floor to ceiling windows amidst a calming park. Nearly mimicking a disjointed Frank Gehry design, the Ion Orchard mall in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district is a beautiful fusion of it’s geographical counterparts.
