Klein Dytham Architecture - Disappearing Towers

I received an email yesterday from Mark Dytham over at KDa on a current project of theirs. They are camouflaging two 20 year old, 40-story towers; so during the snowy season the black and white one blends into the landscape, and during the summer months the green one blends in. Very cool twist on re-facing a building.

Again, Check their website, their work is incredible.

Side note: I really like the layout and navigation of the KDa website. I find many architects strive for a uniquely-designed experience on a website, which ends up confusing and kind of retarded. Take a clue here, everything laid out on the bottom and always accessible. Some awkward sites that tend to make you lose interest very fast:

Hi there.. just by chance, I happened to bump into your website!! I'm a female student from Ireland about to move to the UK to start 2nd year of Architecture..

I have just recieved my brief for my Summer project which involves selecting an object of desire, something pragmatic, architectural, well made, beautiful etc etc...and making an abstract image of this.. Anyway, the first thing that sprung to mind was the Citroen D.S! My Dad has a bit of an obsession to say the least hah :)

Anyway to make a long story short.. If you feel like lending a hand or if you have any uselful tips or interesting links, please do not hesitate to send them my way. I would very much appriciate it :) sophie.dempsey@hotmail.com
