1. SHED
Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, the Shed is an artistic center of 475 million dollars. This structure is a cultural space of almost 20,000 square meters, and is an amorphous building with an exterior shell that sits on a set of wheels connected to a short track. Once activated, the shell moves away from the main structure of the building, thus creating A completely new building which is part of the original. «The technology used to move the structure is really old,» says Diller. «To open and close the shed needed the same horses of force as the engine of a [Toyota] PRIUS, which makes it very economical. «
