KOLLAGE by Karim Rashid

KOLLAGE is a multi-function, multi-disciplinary building. It is part office, part retail, part condo, and part apartment-hotel. The building is designed so that each section speaks about its function. The top section is a large rentable auditorium/meeting/hall room, whereas on the left, the projection is offices. The yellow section is an apartment-hotel, the blue ones are condominiums, and black and bottom are retail. The idea is to animate the building so it speaks about its diversity of functions. In most multi-disciplinary buildings you do not really make a differentiation between the functions, so that was the main premise of Kollage. The other premise is to make views projecting in 360 degrees around the building, almost like a cubist painting, where we take the idea of a flat facade and we make it 3D.
