UNStudio | Galleria Department Store: The Color-Changing Skin of a Glass Disc

On the exterior of a mediocre existing department store, add a new skin composed of thousands of circular glass discs. Each disc is fixed to the wall by a bracket, slightly tilted at varying angles, and features a dichroic film on its surface, presenting different pearlescent hues depending on the viewing angle. LEDs are hidden behind the discs, transforming the entire facade into a low-resolution giant screen at night, slowly changing colors and patterns. The daytime appearance is subtle and soft, while at night its character completely transforms. The original building structure remains untouched, merely re-packaged. Night view shot from across the street, with the gradient colors of the discs and the building's silhouette clearly visible. Avoid: discs arranged in a regular grid, all at the same angle, color changes too fast like an advertising screen, messy daytime appearance.

在一棟平庸的既有百貨量體外,加掛一層由數千片圓形玻璃盤構成的外皮,每一片盤以支架離牆固定並略微傾斜角度不同,表面帶有分光膜,因此隨觀看角度呈現不同的珍珠色澤。圓盤背後藏有 LED,夜間整面立面成為一塊低解析度的巨型螢幕,以極緩慢的速度變換色彩與圖案。白天的外觀含蓄柔和,夜間則完全改變性格。原有的建築結構完全不動,只是被重新包裝。夜景從對街拍攝,圓盤的漸變色彩與量體輪廓清楚。避免:圓盤排列成規則網格、全部同角度、變色過快如廣告螢幕、白天外觀雜亂。
