The World’s Darkest Building Has Just Gone Up At The Winter Olympics

A pavilion designed for Hyundai by architect Asif Khan has been covered with a coating of Vantablack – the world’s blackest black, which absorbs more than 99% of the light that hits its surface. (Didn’t Anish Kapoor buy exclusive rights to that?) Oliver Wainwright describes the building as “an angular black hole, … a portal to a parallel universe.” The interior, naturally, is bright white.
