About

Not all things are as they first appear, and this building is the perfect example of that concept.

From a distance, this structure appears to be another ordinary office building, that is until visitors get a closer look. Decorated across the facade of the building are math and physics formulas. The structure also happens to be the headquarters of the technology consultancy company AFRY.

Graphic concrete was used by the architect to embed patterns into the concrete. From a distance, the formulas appear to be fine lines of texts, they are in fact, letters, numbers, and signs that make up the foundation of maths and physics.
