Architectural and structural design in the concept and final design phases
Artistic direction
The project comes to life from the archetype of the leaf and harmoniously integrates architectural forms, advanced technologies, structures and artistic contents that tell the story of the country. The centerpiece of this architecture is the large central tree, which houses the vertical connections and a room on the upper level.
Another highly distinctive architectural element, which represented a stimulating structural challenge, is the large leaf/cover, which has only two support points, at the ends.
The complex design was entirely managed using computational/parametric design tools. iDEAS played a role of coordination, control and continuous supervision during the various phases of the project.
