Best of 2010: Vodaphone Headquarters by Barbosa Guimarães


Vodaphone Headquarters by Barbosa Guimarães

Shortly before the calendar rolled over to the year 2010, Vodaphone revealed a new international headquarters as designed by Barbosa Guimaraes, a truly wonderous building.  The Vodaphone Headquarters, located in Porto, Portugal is a wild work of sculptural architecture, a building that appears to be born in dreams, not reality.  The design was envisioned as an extension of Vodafone's slogan, "Life in Motion", as the headquarters building appears to be growing, and developing in a fashion far outside of conventional thinking.  While the structure is sculptural, its execution is purely functional.  This unconventional building does not hinder its purpose by being overly flashy or different.  It is at once functional and progressive, a success in the world of modern architecture.
