the 150 year-old art nouveau icon is scheduled to open by the end of may after over 15 years of construction.
the interior design juxtaposes existing historical features of the building with clean, contemporary lines.
the house is designed to resemble a large piece of a tree trunk.

more commentsi did not get the concept
I find that at least in photos it is much more compelling in its so-called ‘broken’ state. It actually reads like a kind of scratched photo – a kind of ethereal George Rousse experiment.
i gues, the photos dont show. should look different in life..?
no, no there was no cat, this was the journalist fairy tale everybody told. people like myths.
it just broke, it was unstable.
The building collapsed nobody injured. It failed but it was good try so that I also give you the highest point.
Well done!…Is this an architectural joke?
Reminds me of Icarus- a bit to close to the sun.
I think the fact that it failed makes the exhibit more thought provoking.
But on some level it sets a bad precedent.
Can an injury be excused if the building is beautiful or conceptually interesting yet not well constructed?
it was torn down by a cat who sneaked in the building during the night. apparently it happened twice.. 🙂
