MIES - Eisenmann's Cidade da Cultura

Eisenmann's use of designing from contours isn't anything new. But his method is quite sophisticated. This is one of his better designs and watching the unfolding design process is a treat.



Hint: start this video somewhere around the 4:19 mark if you want to witness a really, really cool modelling process. And take the Galician for what it is: something you probably won't understand and something you probably wish you did.
