Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the 11-story, 40-unit condo flanks the western edge of the High Line at 28th Street.
The façade features a hand-rubbed metal screen that functions as a finished cover for the concrete slabs and the spandrel glass portions of the window wall. Hadid uses the slab covering as an opportunity to express and emphasize the softened edges at the corners and create the building's signature element of floors that meld with walls. The intricacy of their shapes require a technological artisanry, as they are formed by unique, laser cut pieces.

With its stunning moving facade, the Fosun Foundation, a new culture and arts building at the Bund Finance Centre in Shanghai, is proof that China is at the forefront of experimental and innovative architecture.

Set on Shanghai’s waterfront, the Fosun Foundation is a centrepiece for the city’s business quarter, and was hailed for its shape-shifting facade when it first opened in January 2019. The three-storey building is inspired by the open stages of traditional Chinese theatre.

The mixed-use arts and cultural development centre features a curtain-like facade of bronze tubes that resemble giant pieces of bamboo. These tubes hang in three layers, creating a veil that moves vertically around the outside of the building, altering its shape.
