Ice Hotel inJukkasjärvi, Sweden (December, 2005) ![]() Lloyd’s is one of the icons of “High Tech” architecture, which
describes the exploitation of a building’s structure and systems for
aesthetic effect. Based on the idea that buildings are
essentially big machines, High Tech emphasizes the idea of mechanism,
and tries to make evident all the different parts that go into making a
building work, rather than hiding them behind walls, as is usually the
case. The Pompidou Center in Paris, from 1971-77, is also by Rogers, along with Renzo Piano, and is an evident precedent for Lloyd’s. ![]() James Law brings high-tech solutions to large scale structures through innovative ideas for intelligent living. The latest future forward design from this firm is the Cybertecture Egg, commissioned by Vijay Associate (Wadhwa Developers) for Mumbai, India. The 32,000 sq m egg-shaped building will combine “iconic architecture, environmental design, intelligent systems, and new engineering to create an awe-inspiring landmark in the city.
