star place department store in kaosiung, taiwan by UNStudio has reached completion. the luxury store`s curved
fully glazed façade acts as a sunscreen and weather barrier. the concave front is designed using a combination
of a curtain wall glazing with horizontal lamellas {a thin plate or scale} along with vertical glass fins. the façade`s
elements are derived from a twisted frame system which are related to the interior organization of the building.
at night, edge-lighting sends a soft glow of colors over the vertical panels of glass, with the intensity and color
of the light being digitally controlled and choreographed.
