Vanke · City Growth Hall, designed by MORE DESIGN OFFICE (MDO), is an adaptive reuse of an old factory that creates a clear language between old and new. The oscilloscope became the genesis of the design, and the burst of energy was extracted as the element of the design, both formally and metaphorically connecting back to the relationship with the “Get Chengdu Learning Center.” In the explosive proliferation of space, technological materials and lights clash and blend with the old factory building, bringing new sensory impact and dramatic feeling to visitors.

Season Of Leaves, designed by Nilay Patalia Architects, is a residence that strategically sits deeper into the site. The resultant house design evolved to be one in direct response to the site and functionality, having simple aesthetics and rustic material palette. The approach is shrouded by the trees, acting as natural screen providing privacy to the residents and keeping the visitors intrigued in anticipation for the house to reveal itself; allowing only few glimpses through the web of branches and leaves.

Cabinet Studio Apartment, designed by Anna & Eugeni Bach, is an adaptation of a small corner flat to be used as a study and a “retirement” apartment. To achieve this flexibility, the proposal concentrates all of the services in a single area, as though part of a hutch, which crosses the main rooms following the 45º logic of a corner flat.

Panasonic Flagship Store, designed by Say Architects, reinterprets the localized expression of international brands in China and creates a new landmark building for Lakeside Pedestrian Street. Say regards the whole building as two parts: the lower part is gray bricks rooted in the local area and the upper part is silver plated based on the international area. Traditional culture and technological innovation are ingeniously integrated in the facade just like the intimate handshake between Panasonic and Chinese culture.

House (Be)hide, designed by Touch Architect, is a residence that follows the existing trees, together with a perfectly fitted function. At the main entrance, the house cannot be seen and realized an inside space, but it attracts people to look at the trees with a reflective black wall as a background, which is more remarkable when green is on the black canvas and doubling trees as reflection on gloss material.

Return Restaurant I, designed by Return, deliver a sense of surprise during the transformation of the background and role assumed by the food per se. The building enjoys the advantages of independence and floor height, which renders the pursuit of returning to rationality more meaningful. Irregular interlocking folds can create a deep spatial and temporal sense in the limited interior, which controls the environmental perception within the human walking path.

Return is an Interior Design practice that explores dining/accommodation consumption spaces from the perspective of design pragmatism; we design spaces that aspires to build connections among environment, city, human and architecture through the perspective of social problem resolution, to sort out the vein of old and new architecture reshaping, and carry out material regeneration and innovation experiments.

Żorro, designed by Architekt Maciej Franta, is shaped by copying and then recomposing a typical prefabricated housing building in the vicinity. The building was designed in traditional technology with a reinforced concrete structure and brick walls. Żorro was inspired by the basic principle of creating architecture, i.e. improving the functional, aesthetic and spatial standards found in a given place and context for future residents.

White House, designed by TAB/Tropical Architecture Bureau, is a retreat for relaxing and recharging at the end of long strenuous days. Interspersing the mass with suitable sunken portions, in the form of courtyards, allow breaks in transitioning from one space to another, creating pockets of visual as well as physical relief features. As a design style at TAB, we maximize the use of locally available materials and skilled labour so as to encourage and contribute to the local cultural and economic community.

The aim of this project was to take over the good form of the Japanese house built by the ancestors and give it a form suitable for modern life.

BO 52 is an architectural project designed by Yachar Bouhaya Architecte, Saad El Kabbaj, Driss Kettani and Mohamed Amine Siana in Casablanca. The project is intended above all to belong to Casablanca, taking inspiration from the essence and codes of architecture that have made Casablanca specific throughout the twentieth century. But it is also a question of fully asserting its contemporaneity by trying to offer a writing of its time, light, white, strong and subtle at the same time.

Le Copenhague, designed by Christophe Rousselle Architecte, emerges as a single, sober volume with simple shapes that oscillates between massiveness and transparency due to the alternation between concrete and glass. The building is configured as a large solid body of almost white concrete. The use of raw concrete has been chosen for being a unifying element – sober and elegant -, for its robust and durable quality, as well as for its structural advantage.

Rosby Wines Cellar Door & Gallery, designed by Cameron Anderson Architects, respects historic earth buildings’ alignment and materiality. Rosby Wines was launched in a mudbrick hut overlooking the vineyard at the top of the property. The site configuration creates a service area behind the new building concealing services and associating them with the main workshop areas of the property away from public access. Critical to the project was the structural engineer who pushed the boundaries of rammed earth design eliminating a lot of structural steel.
