Illusion II


Building: Central Signal Box, Basel
Architect: Herzog de Meuron

Another building by Herzog de Meuron in Basel with illusional facade. The copper façade combines modern aesthetics with functionality (protection of computer equipment against electromagnetic distortion). Photo was taken while it's raining.
