Rise with the Sunblock

Meet the outside of Paris Arab World Institute and what is probably one of the most inovative and expensive facades ever.

 

The reason for it being that there's a mechanism opening or closing the round gaps on display depending on how much the sun is shining maintaining a cool temperature and atmosphere inside the building.

 

Gorgeously fancy.
