Actually, SAFE*

This “zipper” installation in Milan by British artist, Alex Chinneck and SITE’s postmodern facades for Best Products have been engineered to appear to be failing on a monumental scale.

SUPERSTRUCTURES’ practice, on the other hand, focuses on restoring facades and the structure that supports them.  Our decades of experience, talented team, and tight construction documents have made us the leading NYC E/A firm focused on “skin and skeleton.”

While we appreciate the ingenuity required to safely detail architectural “follies” like these, we prefer the appearance of the projects we feature on our website.

*(Of course, NYC’s LL11 doesn’t apply to these buildings—they’re less than seven stories tall, and they’re not located in the city)
