The new outter skin appears to be a perforated surface organized in a mathematical, cell-like arrangement. This unique façade tests some prosolve370e panels that are made up of photocatalytic pollution-fighting technology in urban environments.

The material allows for there to be a combination of aesthetic, functionality, and sustainability in design as it also helps to diffuse light and air turbulence.

Prosolve370e reacts to ambient daylight and because it is located near the center of the city, the structure’s skin will be more suitable to reduce a bulk of the pollution in the air.

She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
