Atreo Skyscraper

Posted: | by Great Spaces | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

Atreo is a concept building designed by Italian firm, Crilo Architecture.  More.











The building is a reinterpretation of the Greek myth of Atreus, the vengeful King of Mycenae.  Its sharp angles bend and unfold toward the sky, its cavernous underground complex rivals Etruscan funerary chambers.  "The reinterpretation of the myth is based on mutability of the past, through a continuous equilibrium between history and contemporaneity. A reinterpretation of the human tensions, which belong to every period of history."
