Concrete Finishes 2

Dutch architect Rene van Zuuk has created this building just outside of Amsterdam. The building is 12 metres wide and 9 stories high. Van Zuuk took his inspiration for the facade from graphic arts, patternmaking and wallpaper. In particular he was inspired by the drawings of Dutch artist Escher. The panels are single repeated entities but when put together form an overall pattern.

The panels are made from prefabricated concrete.

I would love to do something like this for the assignment but will have to check on whether this Dutch architect qualifies under the assignement guidelines.
