The Prada Transformer, fashion’s latest starchitect-designed metamorphic space, opens in Seoul, South Korea, this month. Putting a new spin on the idea of ‘‘mobile art,’’ the Rem Koolhaas/AMO-designed structure will be flipped by cranes to reveal four different configurations. The Transformer’s programming, which runs through July — and which coincides with the Korean release of the second-generation Prada Phone — will showcase works from the Fondazione Prada, curated by Germano Celant, as well as Korean film and student design. But lest anyone forget who wears the pants in this operation, the series will open with ‘‘Waist Down,’’ a retrospective of Miuccia Prada’s skirts, and close with a show of her fall-winter 2009 collection.
