Gaddafi Skyscraper | Jonathan Abaya
Tripoli / Libya / 2010
1
The Ghaddafi tower is a Hotel, offices and shopping mall.
A small variation in the vertical window band on facade creates an abstract pattern,
that seen from a distance turns into crystal clear portraits of Muammar al-Ghaddafi and Libya map.
The equilateral triangular footprint creates a building with no ends, only three faces perceived
as free standing two-dimensional surfaces.
