This was a case of renovation of old buildings. The reconstructor VANDU took "geometry" as the hint and primitive element in the company's culture. And the origin of aesthetics and design was its principle when making every project.
As in this case, the old building was a 40-year old steel shed factory. The designers therefore kept the framework of the building but turned disadvantages of the space into works that are more aesthetic and user friendly. For instance, the space was divided into smaller areas and cubes based on different functionalities. But mean while, those functional areas were well planned so that the the hallway, the dormer, the courtyard, the stairs and the cubes were connected effectively. To conclude, the designers not only consider the space as a whole but also made great use of the part and details. And that created the VANDU Geometrical Aesthetic Hall.
