Rem Koolhaas latest project -The Prada Transformer- is not just a building, but also a
statement on todays state of architecture. Dubbed the anti-blob, this object rejects all
common blobbyshapes we have seen lately. Simple geometrical shapes (a circle, a cross,
a rectangle and an hexagon) enclose a space that depending on its rotation results on
different spaces suitable for fashion exhibitions, cinema, art exhibitions and other special
events. Each face is the platform on which these activities take place, while also being
served by the other faces enclosing the space.

A few weeks ago we showed you part of the const ruction progress, which is already
finished and opened in April 15th with a fashion exhibition (Waist Down Skirts by Miuccia
Prada, see video of animated skirts at the exhibition), that will be opened until May 31 when
the Transformer will rotate into Cinema mode.
Architecture photographerIwan Baan recently visited the Prada Transformer and shared with
us this impressive photo set of the Transformer on Exhibition mode (see more after the
break).

DOMO Arquitetos
For me, search for the ultimate flexible space and the use of regular shapes puts several
things in question. Transformable architecture is nothing new, but in times on which mixed
use seems to be the 2nd typical characteristic of a building after green, this project
makes a stand. No fancy shapes, no wind diagrams, no fancy structure, no shiny surfaces,
no eye candy renderings. No blob. Just, a simple building.
