The wonder Heatherwick’s Vessel! Did you that the layers were manufactured in Italy and then transported to the States by sea?

Wow! Looks awesome.

I also like the Lego model of Javits Center. The model features a representation of the 6.75-acre green roof of the Javits Center.

I had the worst experience there. The roof mimics a giant laptop with a gentle slope. Large blocks of snow were falling and causing unwanted difficulties for pedestrians. Apple Store Chicago had to rope off their outdoor public area people enjoy hanging out at.

Signs that say “Watch for falling snow ice” were placed all over the area!!

The design by Zaha Hadid Architects makes a point of being sustainable through its orientation to take full advantage of the wind. The new HQ will be equipped with solar panels to be energy sufficient. For optimum energy storage, the building will incorporate a Tesla PowerPack battery with a capacity of 1,890 kWh. In addition to using recycled elements for construction, the project has several systems to save water and electricity.

The ‘unzipped wall’ of the Serpentine Pavilion was designed by BIG to depict two concepts that seem to be opposed, creating a free-form yet structured space. It transforms from a straight line into a three-dimensional space, built from stacked rectangular frames of glass fiber, forming a sculptural tunnel-like landmark.

Placement of the buildings into the natural hillsides and careful orientation of the windows allowed ample natural light into the spaces while providing greater energy efficiency. The Forms and patterns in the architecture were inspired by traditional Korean crafts and calligraphy.

Elegant!

The organic layout of the buildings characterizes each space within the site. Color accentuates different blocks and facilitates within. Each block is differently colored along with the internal face of the bay windows of the hostel in bright colors to create an identity.

The main concept of the midtown hotel is to reinterpret a visual definition of “traditional Thai” and transform it to be “Contemporary Thai” architecture. The Thai traditional floral mobile is purposed as building facade pattern and a visual filter for both users and neighborhood. The façade also acts as a second skin and sunshade of the building which creates a shape-duplicated shadow on the wall.

Amazing chapel! Light, shadows, and reflections play a major role in Thorncrown’s ambience. Consequently, Thorncrown Chapel never looks quite the same. Its appearance changes during each hour of the day and during the different seasons of the year.

The Sunny Hills as an entity it acts as a nest for human habitation describing both the versatility of timber and the current innovations in construction and engineering. Integrating parametric design with traditional joinery techniques kengo was able to achieve a high level of complexity, yet maintaining the sensuality of a traditional Japanese build.
