| dc.description | Interior, retail boutique; Prada's Tokyo “epicenter”, in the fashionable Aoyama district, is the company's second radical approach to fashion-store architecture, following Rem Koolhaas’ flagship store in New York. The Tokyo store is a strikingly unconventional 6-story glass crystal that is soft despite its sharp angles – as a result of its five-sided shape, the smooth curves throughout its interior, and its signature diamond-shaped glass panes, which vary between flat, concave and convex “bubbles”. Jacques Herzog describes these glass panes as “an interactive optical device." Source: Galinsky [website]; http://www.galinsky.com/ (accessed 5/4/2011) | en_US |
