Facade Reference
The Vertical Tides is 150-meter-long, one-storey-high facade renovation of a commercial building in Qingdao’s fashion industrial park. The building is located near the shoreline and acts as a backdrop to various fashion events taking place within the park fronting the facade.
For the architect’s, the goal was to create a sculptural facade that takes inspiration from the natural phenomena of the changing water surface based on varying environmental conditions. The facade also represents the energy and flow of the people visiting the area while trying to emanate the emotional qualities of water and our inherent connection to it.
