The former vodka distillery of the 1910s was converted by OMA architects into a series of exhibition spaces for the Prada Foundation back in 2015; now they are complemented by a white concrete tower. Six of its levels are intended for the exposition, three are given for the infrastructure for visitors - a restaurant, etc. There is a roof terrace with a bar. All together it covers about 2000 m2.
Rem Koolhaas, however, did not confine himself to pure function, but, as in the rest of the buildings of the foundation, created a series of options - formal and spatial. The site for the tower is wedge-shaped, but its floors of the same plan alternate with rectangular ones protruding outward in the form of consoles: as a result, the visitor does not get tired of monotony, moving from hall to hall, and from the outside the tower demonstrates a dynamic shape.
The same is done with glazing: either panoramic windows with views to the north, or, on the contrary, narrow side openings. The tower itself faces just to the north, towards the railway tracks, but it seems to be being pulled back to the neighboring building by a diagonal "support". Koolhaas himself calls his approach "radical diversity": he achieved diversity for sure.
