I like art. I like architecture. I like fashion. I like art, architecture, and fashion. I like...































Behold the fusion of all three likes. Miuccia Prada has joined forces with architect Rem Koolhaas (I wonder if Rem created a witty pseudonym that is supposed to go hand in hand with his career) and the city of Soeul, Korea to create the Prada "Transformer". This huge tetrahedron installation holds a movie theater, an art exhibit for Prada, and many articles of Prada clothing, and it will be finished off with two enormous cranes built on top. It will also shift shape once it is flipped-- the walls becoming floors, the movie theater morphing into another shape, and the perspective of the building changing in its entirety. I am always in awe of such innovation...how does the human mind have the capacity for such structure?? Dope, is all I can say.
