Hulunbuir Hailar Airport designed by United Design U10 Atelier is located in Hailar District, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. Hulunbuir is well known as one of the Top 10 Snowy Cities in China with its most beautiful prairies in the world. The built-up area of existed T1 Terminal was 7,600 m2. It could not meet the need of ever-growing passenger volume for prairie tourism. Obviously, it is necessary for the existed terminal to be expanded. At the beginning, the boundary and plan of this expansion project were fixed. As a result, we were facing a great challenge – how to design a…

The Luum Temple by CO-LAB Design Office in Tulum, Mexico, is nestled in a conserved green area inside a new residential development called Luum Zama; Luum Temple is a welcoming space for the community. Accessible only via pedestrian pathways woven through a conserved native jungle, the Temple offers a quiet natural setting perfect for reflection and slowing down.         The arched vaults support each other, co-existing in structural dependency, serving as a reminder to the community of our interdependence and the accomplishments we can achieve when we work together.           CO-LAB designed the…

Buga Wood Pavilion designed by ICD/ITKE at the University of Stuttgart. The BUGA Wood Pavilion celebrates a new approach to digital timber construction. Its segmented wood shell is based on biological principles found in the plate skeleton of sea urchins, which have been studied by the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) and the Institute for Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart for almost a decade. As part of the project, a robotic manufacturing platform was developed for the automated assembly and milling of the pavilion’s 376 bespoke hollow wood segments. This fabrication process…

One Main Office Renovation by dECOi Architects The project essentially comprises two planes – the floor and ceiling, both of which are articulated as continuous surfaces inflected by function. The curvilinearity expresses both the digital genesis and the seamless fabrication logic, with the architect providing actual machining files to the fabricator. As far as possible, the ethos was to replace typical industrial components (such as vents, door handles, etc) with articulate milled timber, offering a radically streamlined protocol for delivery of a highly crafted interior. The intention was to offer a reduced carbon footprint whilst celebrating both a new formal…

The Parks at Amara Chapel by Buensalido Architects in Cebu City, Philippines This project was done for one of the biggest property developers in the country, Ayala Land. The site is in the second phase of their high-end subdivision in Cebu City called the Parks at Amara, and we were asked to design a unique garden chapel that still exuded timelessness and class, as the development targets the upscale sector of society. We thought of the chapel as a bridge, linking three major elements that we wanted to bring together—nature, man, and God. Via > Buensalido Architects

Sousse and Bardo Memorial by George King Architects in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom The Sousse and Bardo memorial is dedicated to the 31 British nationals who lost their lives and to all those affected by the two terrorist attacks in Tunisia in 2015. It is inspired by the fluid geometry of flowing water, frozen in place, as if time has stood still at the moment of the attacks. This has been chosen not only because of the proximity of the events in 2015 to the sea but also as it represents a symbol of the cycle of life. Water, when frozen…
