This interesting facade completes an Art Gallery in Cork by Erick van Egeraat. It exemplifies his effective but subtle use of organic forms, which seem to attach themselves to old buildings. These epiphytical forms render entirely new spaces, both externally and internally.

Similar projects by van Egeraat are available at:

What particularly appeals to me about this example is the disjunction which forms a window out of the curved surface. The puncture is only visible from certain directions.
