FiftyTwoDegrees, a Business Innovation Centre with 86 meter tall tower stands on a slope and is fluidly yet excitingly absorbed into surrounding Goffert Park. The lower eight floors of the seventeen-story tower are ten degrees out of plumb, creating an inviting gesture towards the city.
The façade is made of aluminum and glass in a unique and whimsical pattern. In order to shorten the construction time – one floor per week – it was decided to use prefabricated cladding, resulting in a pattern of pixels that gives the facade an abstract appearance.
The architect’s talk, construction progress and other relevant information of this project are available inFiftyTwoDegrees.
