This building with it's unique designed triangular cushion facade (by architect Brauen & Wälchli) is intended to host high level commercial shops. The facade is build up from a 4-layer cushion with three air chambers and two different internal pressures. The outer layer is made from PTFE-coated glass fabric, the three inner layers from ETFE due to light requirements. These membranes are made by Hightex. The triangular cushions will be illuminated from the inside during night time.
