French architects Studio Bellecour have completed a pair of office buildings near Toulouse, France, wrapped in aluminum fins and connected by a twisting concrete element. The horizontal fins curve around all sides of both offices to prevent overheating in the summer and reflect light back into rooms during the winter. Galilée is one of the debut projects realized in the UDZ (Urban De- velopment Zone) Andromède, in Blagnac, near Toulouse in France.
