The stacked hall aims to achieve a double identity through architecture’s fundamental ambivalent qualities. Fashion label, Akris, stationed in the Swiss industrial city of St. Gallen calls for an addition to its headquarters. Starting with a typological reference of the industrial shed, the design is rooted within architecture history. Through a series of transformations, old knowledge is translated into something different; a future oriented tradition.
