Asymmetry

Ever since Rei Kawakubo joined the dots between architecture and fashion, allowing asymmtery and deconstruction(in the fashion, not the ct sense) to be seen as 'fashionable', asymmetry has been replicated almost to the point of turning into an unfortunate cliche of 'avant garde fashion'.
To reverse the order of influence somewhat, Daniel Libeskind has drawn upon this asymmetry and transposed it to the realm of architecture. The result is Reflections at Keppel Bay.
While it's not the first development in Singapore designed by a 'starchitect', this is the first development where the marketing collaterals are centred around the architect.
An arty advertisement in sepia featuring Libeskind and a website that replicates the asymmetry of the buildings has information on the architect and the surrounding neighbourhood and views(but no information that I can find on the floor plans).
