He took a historic stone building in Milan and attached a giant zipper to it, making it look like the facade was being casually unzipped to reveal glowing light inside. Pure genius.\n\nMore: **See more from Alex Chinneck**\n\n🔗 Follow **Alex Chinneck on Instagram ↗**\n\n* * *\n\n\n\n\n### 🎺 Trombone Player — Tom Bob in New York, USA 🇺🇸\n\nTom Bob refuses to let urban hardware be boring.
