Although the staircase, photographed like this, is reminiscent of the Wonder Spiral, it seems to have no relation to the Fibonacci sequence, both I naturally adjusted the photo to the golden ratio ...
Obwohl das Treppenhaus, so fotografiert, an die Wunderspirale erinnert, scheint es keinen Bezug zur Fibonacci-Folge zu haben, sowohl ich das Foto natürlich an den goldenen Schnitt angepasst habe ...

About SPG . . . Minergie renovation ( click here )
"It is a crystal which captures light during the day and which, at night, appears like a signal or a lighthouse"
Architect Giovanni Vaccarini
«C'est un cristal qui capte la lumière la journée et qui, la nuit, apparaît tel un signal ou un phare»
Since the renovation of its head office, SPG has reduced its energy consumption by 60% per heated square meter and by 50% in electricity by installing a thermal envelope made up of 2,900 glass slats of different length, thickness and depth.
"It is a crystal which captures light during the day and which, at night, appears like a signal or a lighthouse".
The heating and ventilation system have also been completely redesigned by the architectural firm Giovanni Vaccarini.
The cooling is done statically from the ceiling. The cold air descends slowly, and the heat emitted at the foot of the facade, by ejectors send the preheated air into the rooms.
The facade is made up of triple glazing with high performance thermal insulation, as well as single glazing provided with ventilation slots placed in front of blinds with micro-perforated slats. These provide protection against direct sunlight as well as comfort. visual. Single glazing also contributes to solar reflection. A silver coating on one side of the glass prevents any overheating phenomenon. The last elements are the solar shading glass slats fixed to the facade by reinforced aluminum forks. They are studded with multiple small dots that enhance solar protection while letting the light diffuse very softly inside the building.

Last year on a trip to Las Vegas someone told me about a building there in town that was designed by the same architect that designed the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. I only had time to shoot it during the day which was unfortunate because after returning home I discovered that the building is lit with lighting that changed colors throughout the night. Saturday I hitched a ride with my daughter to Las Vegas, she purchased tickets to see Third eye blind & Dashboard confessional at the Hard Rock Cafe, I was worried about her driving up by herself so I asked if I could tag along for the ride and I would shoot around on the strip while she was in the show, plus as an added bonus I could reshoot this building at night. This is the blue version taken at about 1:00am.
Hope you like!!!! :)
