The Danube Flower Blooms Again - Yanko Design

When y'all think the discussion "innovate," yous don't often associate it with "recycle." But what Stojanovic, Pavlovic, Milanovic accept done here is both of those things, with a project called "Wellness Sky." Together they transformed a 35 year old, lost and decrepit building into the once glorious landmark it was at its tiptop, and they did it by turning it into a fettle center.

This story begins in the early 1970s with a building chosen the "Danube Flower" in Belgrade, Serbia. It was great and all, and it had information technology's moments, hosting the communist president J.B.Tito for dinner, amongst lots of other folks. But it barbarous into disuse with the advent of civil war in the 1990s.

Long story short, it'south been revitalized. Xv feet above the river and the walk below. Concrete edifice height and bottom held apart in the middle making a sort of drinking glass sandwich. A manus-sandwich, as the building is a giant triangle. The unabridged building is based on 7.3m equilateral triangles, while the ceiling consists of 390 backlit panels, the light emanating within and out of the building due to the cogitating resin floor spanning the floor.

A sight to behold. An inspiration for citizens: people in the city and people coming in to stay in shape. Light for the community! Trianglitudes!
