Looking like Star Trek’s Borg Cube ravaged by lasers, the TED building in Taiwan is a 43,000 square meter behemoth, designed by BIG Architects.

The cubed structure has an open structure—a gaping hole—at street level, giving visitors access to the building.

And TED’s insides are just as stunning as its exterior. The hole extends into a coiling spiral leading from the ground floor to the roof garden, with the building’s tenants arranged around the vertical spiral in “no obvious hierarchy”, states the architects.

The building’s roof caves in a little, giving the garden an amphitheater-ish feel, something the architects hope will serve as a “natural gathering point for Taipei teenagers for social hang-out and informal performances”.
