Zhuhai Observation Tower

The time-honored etiquette of ingenuity is, after all, an embodiment of planning-one where the excitement of possibilities stands unscathed. That’s the beauty of it. Sensitivity towards this domain of perception varies among masses. Contraptions of such genre, inaugurated by these magicians, accomplish the most mundane feats and WVA Architects’ proposed landmark promises the same.

In July 2014, Zhuhai Doumen Observation Tower Competition recognized WVA’s “Zhuhai JIANFENG Bridge East Square Landscape Tower”, as the third best proposal for the furtherance of cultural identity and cultural connectivity at the developing waterfront of Zhuhai, China. Careful contextual analysis was undertaken by WVA Architects, as a part of the preliminary process.

Zhuhai Observation Tower is located at the junction of two rivers, hence, forming an intersection of neighborhoods. The tower mirrors, in its form, the beauty of Jianfeng Mountain across the river. The basic existence of the form is the architectural manifestation of the three roads or the three rivers that greet the mountain. The central, vertical element of the tower, is the culmination of the unity of three elements at the ground level, two of which would be bridges connecting a nearby island and neighborhood. The Tower can rightfully be claimed as a contemporary take on the Chinese Mountain and Water Painting, with a series of potted platforms and a patterned metal facade employed for the purpose of imitating natural habitat.

An economical lightweight tubular truss and steel cross bracing structure form the basis of the tower. The designers have incorporated a mechanically programmed louver system, to control the visibility of the platform which offers a 180° panoramic view, at the top of the Observation Tower.

Bahamas House by Urban Office Architecture

at 6:26:00 AM

The House, located in Nassau, Bahamas, is located off the northern coastal route and directly facing the Ocean on a beach site. The main view, towards north-east, governs the house main orientation. The design for the house takes inspiration from the myth of Polyphemus, the one-eye giant and his professed by the ocean love for Galatea.

The villa, nicknamed “Cyclops” is conceived as a viewing device that is carefully directed towards the commanding vistas in the surroundings. Imagined as a “stacked” 3-layer system, the house is clearly divided vertically from public to private areas. The views-vistas gradually zoom-in or narrow in, rather to follow the vertical zoning progression.

The 3 layers are organized also functionally to enhance the site characteristics and maximize the green-sustainable aspects of the project. The ground floor is ideally presented as a transparent glass box. It contains all public spaces (living, kitchen, pool, garden, deck, etc.) Via operable wall windows, the ground floor greatly takes advantage of the cross ventilation as the main green feature.

The second level works as a “connector” between the top and bottom floor and it’s programmatically intended to be a semi-public space. Mostly carved to allow for soaring double height spaces at grade, it features passing bridges that lead to the family/fun/recreation areas to the east of the house. In addition an overhang and terrace produce additional shade to the lower level thus reducing need for forced and mechanical cooling.

Via stairs and elevator, one reaches the third level where all bedrooms are located. Divided into 3 main periscope like wood-clad volumes (the Cyclops) the bedrooms are comfortable and luxurious areas which are both private and dynamically connected. The westward “Cyclops” contains the master suite, master bath and a private study/den in the south wing.

The middle “Cyclops” is dedicated to the rest of the family and children with access to private outdoor terraces. Finally to the east a separate access stairs get access to the employees’ quarters which are equally connected to the rest of the house via the main corridor-spine.

A guest house-cottage completes the site to the west, framing the pool and the garden. Solar panels are located on both the garage and cottage roofs, granting plenty supply of vital energy. In addition a facade of photo-voltaic cell panels clad the southern wall of the second floor enabling greater use of electrical needed power.

Tencent Corporate Headquarters by NBBJ

at 1:56:00 AM

Tencent — the world’s third-largest internet company and ranked as the most innovative company in China— is working with NBBJ to adapt the highly successful, suburban model of a high-tech campus into an urban high-rise.

02-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

Once only a household name to consumers in China, Tencent is now a major player in international e-commerce and web technology. The architecture of its new headquarters reflects the company’s rising international influence, its networked culture and the interconnectivity of the web.

03-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

The linked configuration activates movement and exchange within the workplace, creating horizontal “streetscapes” and vertical connections. The expansion will provide space for 12,000 additional employees and nearly quadruples the size of Tencent’s current workplace real estate portfolio.

04-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

With two towers, ranging from 192- to 250-meters high, the campus will be connected by three sky bridges to “activate movement and exchange within the workplace.”

05-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

Each bridge will be designed to support its own unique theme. For example, the highest bridge, suspended nearly 180-meters above the tech district, will be centered around a theme of “knowledge” and feature libraries, conference rooms and other amenities that support learning.

06-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

The second highest connection will revolve around the theme of “health,” providing basketball courts, swimming pools and other fitness programs to employees.

07-Tencent-Corporate-Headquarters-by-NBBJ

In contrast, the third bridge will serve as an extension to the building’s plinth. Energy strategies reduce consumption and carbon emissions by 40% over a typical office tower.

In addition, the slight rotation of the towers and their offset heights capture the site’s prevailing winds, ventilating the atria while minimizing exposure to direct sun. To control glare and heat-gain, the curtain wall incorporates a modular shading system that varies according to the degree of sun exposure. Location: Shenzhen, China

Office building open to general public_It attempts to change from a usualclosed business facility that concerns the railroad only into a cultural facility that represents Daejeon. The passive public relation of railway business and facilities were connected to programs such as the great auditorium lobby and the observatory, maximizing the synergy effect and engraving the image of friendlier Korean Rail in the minds of people.

Design Concept Trans : Office building that proposes a new railway to the future the tower running in parallel with the railroad and the lower part of the building respectively mean the new urban context of Daejeon and replacement with the velocity of railway continuity. In other words, the high-rise tower connects the east with the west to create a strong visual axis, proposing the new possibility of the city. Also, the lower floors in parallel with the railroad show a varying speed according to its focal point, creating an ever-changing new office building.

Mebius Ring : Endless trace of wheels without limitation_The visual message of a Floating Railway presented from the 4th floor to 6th floor shows the will of transcend the trace of wheel and the limitation of the railway that is confined to the ground. A series of public programs, which is continued from East Square through the entry ramp in the south, PR center, the lobby of grand auditorium, snack bar and finally to the railway observatory, is integrated into Mobius Ring to express the continuous flow of the rail and symbolize the future transportation mode without limit.

Korail & Krnerwork Headquarters

Control : For the efficient control of Korean railroad, Korea Railroad and Korea Rail Network_ Authority should be separated while complementing each other. The Floating Railway links two straight and upright towers and at the same time is controlled by them. The two towers, which controls the contemporary and future transportation, support and connect the past(site) present(railway) future(Floating railway), and become a strong landmark of Daejeon.

Hotel Tower by Zaha Hadid

Melco Crown Entertainment, a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, has unveiled the project details and design of the ﬁfth hotel tower at City of Dreams, the company’s ﬂagship property in Cotai, Macau. City of Dreams Hotel Tower is a work of Zaha Hadid Architects. Discover more of the project along with the architects description after the jump:

From the Architects:

With 40 ﬂoors and a gross ﬂoor area of 150,000 square meters, the tower houses approximately 780 guestrooms, suites and sky villas. The hotel also includes a variety of meeting and event facilities, gaming rooms, lobby atrium, restaurants, spa, and sky pool. Including extensive back of house areas and supporting ancillary facilities, the tower’s design resolves the many complex programs for the hotel within a single cohesive envelope.

The design combines dramatic public spaces and generous guest rooms with innovative engineering and formal cohesion. The rectangular outline of the site is extruded as a monolithic block with a series of voids which carve through the its centre of the tower, merging traditional architectural elements of roof, wall and ceiling to create a sculptural form that deﬁnes many of the hotel’s internal public spaces.

Live Share Grow tower

Live Share Grow is a project shaped for a location in San Diego by Brandon Martella's studio, the concept is addressing inevitably upcoming food resource problems.

From the Architect:

Food as a resource is depleting. Supply is soon to not meet demand. With population growth, food production in the United States is reaching maximum capacity. Our cities need to address this critical issue with an architecture that responds. A new type of residential tower needs to come forth. Utilizing vertical farming, a new model of living can be tested and resolved in a dense vertical community. From farm to market from community to education lets live, leran, and grow within our city.

Farm tower is located in a vertical community of tourist resources and developer condos divided by a public promenade. The new tower aims at activating a dead corridor that is underutilized and keying in to an international audience with a daily influx of travelers utilizing the strand of tourist attractions located along the waterfront. The adjacent Children Museum and its motto of Think, Play, Create will be embraced with a second motto of Live, Grow, Share to foster a new level of social interface.

The open air market will become a place for local vendors to sell an assortment of products along with fresh produce grown in the farm tower and direct vicinity of San Diego's urban center. The market will become a specimen of culture that dramatically contrasts the a-typical American means of consumption and commerce, an apparatus enriched with a sense of local, and a place for the community to gather.

As the 24th largest convention center in North America, the giant wall blocking San Diego from its southern waterfront brings in an estimated 1.4 billion annually to the local community. It is an economic powerhouse and is expanding with a 3rd annex. The sites direct adjacency will enable the farm tower to become a spectacle as this opportunity is not overlooked and a high level of activity will be harnessed.

The critical moment with farm tower comes to life with a social exchange of farmer and resident. Ten stories above the surrounding community a 100' void space in the farming's southern exposure brings the residential user group out from their usual circulation space to create a critical moment of exchange. Educational tours can come up from the street level to experience the city and the farm firsthand.

Based on Corbu's Marseille block the new Live Grow Share farm tower will offer a variety of room types based upon this model. This basis will provide large double height meeting areas with single height intimate spaces. The 1000 sq ft units are intended for a contemporary gentleman farmer. One who is conscious of their resources and willing to partake in local commerce and public education of how to live within ones means.
