The Ribbon project (Brazil) was designed according to the site directions and energies. The structure was already designed and built. The composition of the plans had to be changed and floors added. These changes brought challenges such as a lack of parking space, the reinforcement of the structure, the layout of the columns, the adjustment of the plan, and the design of the volume and final appearance of the building.
In the redesign, a new arrangement of columns was placed as far as possible, and on higher floors, the height of the floors had to be changed.
Also in the mechanical section, special attention was paid to it, which had been previously ignored. Given the readiness of the structure and the constraints we had when changing the design and adding parts to it, the implementation of the considered geometry and observance of other safety issues was very important.
The question of the project was how our building, which is seen between the two Supreme Audit Court buildings, is neutral and at the same time, when viewed from the side, has an independent personality and identity. From the front, the design looks flat, integrated, monotonous, and semi-transparent. But as soon as we move past the Supreme Audit Court building and see the building from the corner, the building starts to turn towards the Kurdistan Highway.
It is as if a few pieces of the building are on the ground parallel to the building, and the higher it goes, the more it moves towards the highway. In other words, the building will be read from the front, flat, and from the side in volume.
These wavy movements on the façade and the color spectrum can, by propagating in the side views, form an integrated volume that also solves the problem of the third facade.
