An idea brought to life on the possibility that architecture may be viewed from any perspective. A new building touches down the roofs of the old one as an UFO and via its bowels integrates into it at the courtyard. The design method also reflects the prize of the land in this location. The used structures and materials contrast with the existing ones – steel element webs wrapped in and sandwiched with glass panes. The new south facade communicates the energy balance of the creative potential. Problems occurred when we tried to push through the idea of fixing thermal insulation by a silver foil and red discs under perforated aluminium sheets. The Swedes again and again refused to accept this design, to our absolute despair. So we dragged them to the underground garage during the gala dinner. And there, on a silver carpet, between hanging perforated sheets a model was approaching in red panties and a red bolero. Suddenly all of them were able to perceive the appeal and erotic fantasy of the building. Well done.
