Rest assured you are not looking at a cluster of UFOs that have landed somewhere on earth. This is the proposal for Spanish firm Abalos + Sentkiewicz Arquitectos, who received third prize for their design proposal for the Taipei Performing Arts Center international competition. The building is composed of eight circular structures which are connected. Huge bands of glass have been wrapped around some of the units, offering unbelievable panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape. One of our favourite elements of the design, is the incorporation of an equally strange looking footbridge, which connects the centre to the transportation hub. Sadly the third place finish means that this design will only exist as a rendering for the time being.
