The 70s produced a variety of really, really ugly architecture. Grey, concrete duds. It’d be too much trouble to demolish the mistakes, so why not take this Chilean architect’s approach, and blanket gross design with eye-popping rainbow panels? Really eye-popping.
The building’s new clothes are also highly functional-the rainbow wrapping doubles as a filter to keep the inner cool (besides looking incredibly cool, obviously). Great architecture usually doesn’t involve plastering wacky colors everywhere a building, but accordingly, it was just what it took to rework something entirely unremarkable into something impossible to ignore.
