Supo Gallery is a cultural space designed by the architectural firm Archermit. The building is concentrated as a whole because the later use function is an open public building, which is different from the common closed courtyard-type sales & Exhibition center. It integrates the surrounding park and street space in an embracing attitude. The wide part is private, combining various functional space requirements in one place; the narrow part is a corridor with open public space. While creating a sense of entering the home in the early stage, it also considers the “sense of friendly distance” between the building and the surrounding park, which is also a sense of ceremony shaping the cultural exhibition space.

Obra Castaños is a residence designed by the architectural firm Barrionuevo Villanueva Arquitectos. We try to understand this work as a succession of defined areas that are put in relation to others so that a set functions. We try to develop this from its imprint. Volumetric clarity consists of determining these areas, giving them a formal identity, and putting them with other composite areas with the same logic. In this way, a large volume appears at 3 meters high, blocked by a vacuum. As an immediate result, the formal management of the ground floor injects its functions.

Villa Tulum, designed by the architectural firm NOIZ Architekti, is a residence where natural local vegetation penetrates the land. The site is divided into two parts by the building itself – in front of the villa, there is a forest zone, and behind it, a zone of lower vegetation, but also natural for the area – the Caribbean garden. Therefore, the greenery on the plot is characteristic of the place, but the architecture differs from the local one. Nevertheless, it is designed to respect local conditions and climate as much as possible.

Renovation of Shenyang Dongmaoku Warehouses led to development of public spaces designed by the architectural firm URBANUS. Due to the history of formulating the current heritage conservation codes is oriented more toward preservation rather than utilization. Such an orientation would limit the creative and effective reuse of the current buildings. Therefore, the Dongmaoku project provides not only the architects but also the heritage preservation researchers an opportunity to make a change. In terms of architecture, the 30-meter-wide pediment of the warehouse is extracted as the basic motif. The morphology of this motif generates different massings to fit into different programs. This is a proper way to achieve unity between the new and the old in building massing.

Big Arse Toilet is a public washroom designed by the architectural firm SPARK in support of World Toilet Day. SPARK has developed an easily transportable 3d printed toilet module in support of the UN initiative to combat open defecation and the associated issues of hygiene and sanitation in India. Open defecation is a major contributing cause of disease in underdeveloped countries. SPARK’s bold concept converts human waste into biogas. It converts the biogas into electricity via a micro-CHP unit (combined heat and power). The proposal aims to highlight the urgency of eliminating open defecation and the positive benefit of using a natural waste product to create “free” energy for remote communities.
