Star Wars’ Lumbering Monstrosity Becomes Slick Office
July 28, 2011
Sandcrawler, Image Wikia
It’s no secret we’ve been on a little bit of a Star Wars kick recently. Imagine our pleasure when we saw the winner of the Chicago Athenaeum’s International Architecture prize was CX-21, a plan for LucasFilm’s new Singapore offices that was inspired by the Sandcrawler from Star Wars.
Images of the winning design after the jump.
The design by Andrew Bromberg, Executive Director of international design firm Aedas keeps the imposing form, but replaces the original’s COR-TEN steel (we imagine) with sleek glass and the giant treads with lush landscaping, to create something clearly inspired by the film without resorting to kitsch.
