Inside 'the cloud of glass and steel' (2)

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Timmerhuis (OMA), Atrium (cut from all sides)

The modular frame and cells of an atrium of the Timmerhuis look less severe maybe even a bit 'organic', when captured with a fisheye lens.

About the ‘Timmerhuis’. The first 5 floors of this OMA
building (Rem Koolhaas, Reinier de Graaf. Interior design: Saskia Simon, Katrien van Dijk) are used by the municipality of Rotterdam (22.000 square meters, max capacity of 1800 civil servants) and Museum Rotterdam, the top section of the building is formed by 84 apartments. It’s this level that gives the building its striking multi-'cube' shape. In OMA speak, the rectangular 'cubes' are called pixels.

Other defining features are its play with inside/outside, due to the extensive use of partly translucent glass (OMA likes to call the building ‘a cloud of glass and steel’) and last but not least its internal metal modular frame which defines the building’s internal space – it divides and unites, as is shown in this capture, which is shot into one of the two atriums of the building.

The modular frame is obviously empty in the atriums. One is shown here. The size of an individual cell is 7,2 x 7,2 x 3.6 m and when a cell is actually filled it becomes a 'pixel' with a floor area of 50 square meter.
More about the atriums: "through the two large atriums, which act like lungs. They are connected to a climate system that stores warmth in summer and cold in winter and releases this energy as warm or cold air as required" . Source: here.
