Office and Commercial Building in London - Gleaming Alien

摘要

After Jan Kaplicky's death at the beginning of this year his former partner Amanda Levete continued, under her own name, the work started, although with a number of unmistakeable transformations, as shown by the new office and commercial building "10 Hills Place", which had hardly been completed before it was awarded the European Aluminium Prize.rnLight and shade In London it is entirely possible for the bright, colourful shopping streets of the new global community and the narrow mesh of lanes of the old city to exist side by side. From one such lane off the extremely busy shopping precinct that is Oxford Street a new building, impossible to overlook, now peeks out. At first glance it looks like an object from another universe: its gleaming metallic skin is silver-coloured, the only openings it seems to have are four oversized glazed eyes that bulge out dramatically into the narrow lane (a mere seven metres wide) that is Hills Place.
