I'm wondering if they took inspiration from the new Tron movie.
What's it look like during the day?
The inspiration is maybe their own project for Taipei Pop Music Centre? :)))
I admire the soft dynamic forms of this beautiful creation
yeah, I like boobies too.
Kaohsiung Port Terminal: a visual business plan
The architecture is a somewhat simple transliteration of signs appropriate to express a port terminal and the later transportation of goods. It is a visual expression of a functional diagram.
The building enclosure mimics ocean waves and the undulating textured roof bubbly sea foam. The adjacent office tower has embedded in blue light what looks like roads, or a diagram that represents transportation routing. The watery-blue color scheme reinforces the now obvious theme. The design is packaged to render visually the promise of full service delivery from 'ship to shore to warehouse'.
This is a more sophisticated version of a hot dog stand in the shape of, a 'hot dog'.
