Giles Miller Studio has created its largest architectural artwork to date, and wrapped it around the corner of a 50 storey skyscraper in Tardeo, Mumbai. The artwork stands at over 42m tall, and marks the corner of a new residential development in South Mumbai with an engineered textural display which serves as a place-maker as well as a bold architectural intervention.
The piece itself turns the corner of the 193m tall building into a 3-dimensional chevron which points downwards, acclaiming the location of the building to distant viewers across the city of Mumbai. The aesthetic is generated by giant angled ‘combs’ which glide around the radial corner of the structure and in doing so invert their tone by way of the studio’s distinctive use of material composition.
