Trailing from the design principles that conceived the Heavenly Water Service Center, the Earthly Pond Service Center inculcates design responding to the three elements of architecture, environment and human in a symposium. HHD_FUN architects delved into the concept of visual drama encircling a lake wetland in Qingdao, China. The designers have created a sunken courtyard adjoining the lake wetland by colloquial use of the natural gradient. Subsequently, multiple iterations of architecture and landscape elevations set the natural grade levels, integrating numerous access and viewing experiences from every rise and fall. In addition, the central spaces skim down from the surrounding…
The renowned creative and experimental studio FAHR 021.3 weaves ‘LOOP’ an innovative sculpture cum seating at the University of Porto, Portugal. Expressed as an element of celebration to the 10th anniversary of Science and Technology Park at UPTEC. The FAHR designers challenged to symbolize and conceive an intriguing structure for the garden in front of the central building. They were profoundly setting a mark in time and a vision to the future, the installation scores as an iconic symbol for the park.

The modern age comes with a price. Our world needs a constant update in the way we act and perform our duties. Every central urban configuration faces the ‘Urban Heat Island’ effect, drowning inhabitants in unescapable heat and adversity. A team of specialists has acted upon this to enshrine a positive change. The Climate Active Bricks project answers to climate-damaging urban architecture with innovative brick wall solutions. The team’s core idea cracks at modifying the case of microclimate in cities. In Germany, the context of climate change and inner-city compaction coins increasing heating of the urban structures. The ‘Climate Active…

The ‘analogue smart’ design idea emblazed by the Amsterdam-based UNStudio exposes its Van B residential building in Munich. A feature of plug-in furniture modules that clocks and arrays apartments into varying configurations. The six-storey building prototype for modern city-dwelling will site on Infanteriestrasse near Munich’s Creative Quarter. The block ensembles 142 apartments with shared communal spaces. The reconfigurable apartments arrange to maximise their internal floor space and adaptability. The “plug-in” furniture units especially function as space partitions. UNstudio founder Ben van Berkel says, “It involves reinterpreting ideas from the digital world to improve the analogue, physical spaces we inhabit.” Various…
Slashed along a corner site afore the rocky mountains rises a punctuated white façade. Named ‘Populus’ as revealed by the American architecture firm Studio Gang. The design schedules to enfold in Denver with windows scooped out in addition to recall the bark of a tree. Mounting to 135,000-square-foot, this hotel plans to reach 159-foot-tall. And subsequently open to expansive views of the city and the rocky mountains. The distinctive scallop-shaped windows frame the serenading terrain in brilliance. Studio Gang developed the concept for windows looking at eye-shaped patterns found on the bark of Aspen trunks. The name Populus is after…
Rounded Earth homes enliven the natural habitat living. Mario Cucinella Architects in collaboration with WASP, 3D printing specialists in Italy. They revealed the first 3D-printed homes in 200 hours. Moreover the team used raw earth, which is entirely natural, recyclable, and a carbon-neutral material. TECLA, The circular housing prototype was built in Massa Lombarda (Ravenna, Italy) using multiple synchronized 3D printers. Integrating the words ‘Technology’ and ‘Clay’ forms – TECLA. They seek to maximize the standard yield of raw earth through digital fabrication. A double dome solution indeed acts as the structure, roof, and cladding. Furthermore, the concept simplifies the…
Arthur Mamou-Mani, a world-renowned London-based architect was a part of an intriguing session in the PA Talks series with Hamid Hassanzadeh, founder of PA discussing his careers, inspirations, 3D Printing, Eco-Parametric Architecture, and his educational studio at the PAACADEMY.
Woods Bagot and Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s design scored as the winning entry for the Adelaide Contemporary International design competition. The designers enlighten it as a new cultural paradigm highlighting the past, present, and future of Aboriginal cultures, moreover celebrating the contemporary arts and events across varied disciplines. The design proposes to set on Kaurna land. The arts and cultural centre intend to spring its design concept from the “wurlie” or “humpy,” temporary shelters used by Aboriginal Australians. The exterior shell furthermore imitates an intertwined “basket-like nest” that sits atop strong columns affixing the structure with an expansive courtyard at…
