SYNOPSIS
This text was written by Ilka and Andreas Ruby. As the architect Dominique Perrault describes it, ‘a meta-building is a structure that transcends the usual dimensions of a building to encompass a landscape or a city, both physically and conceptually.’
READ MORE
‘A meta-building is to a conventional building what an art installation is to a painting… A meta-building transforms a place without erasing the original.’
