Daniel Libeskind designed a huge 1.5 million-square-foot complex in the leisure and shopping center for Brunnen, Switzerland. 70 shops, a hotel, a multiplex, a wellness center, and apartments mark the angular building. The building is positioned over the city’s major highway and has its own exit and train stop. The construction is a series of angled cubes and forms made to look like crystals. The core is supposed to look like a trapezoid crystal and creates the space for the galleries and arcades.
