A building with curved and rounded forms, resembling a torpedo with a dome-shaped top. The shape of the tower stems from the formal variation of the individual floors with curvilinear layouts, with a maximum overhang of 3 metres with respect to the bearing structure. The cladding will use an advanced system of ceramic material on a metal-and-glass structure, which Iosa Ghini has designed specifically for high-rise buildings. The exterior envelope is not a static enclosure but a dynamic container of expressive forms. Altro

Idea The tissue of the plot has been treated as an elastic fabric, which can be stretched, pulled upwards and twisted so as to form the desired shape, based on the design-programme analysis. Programme-spatial and architectural concept of the museum A function of a museum is commonly associated with buildings with a wide, horizontal programme-spatial layout. They tend to be objects which are exposition ’packagings’, places of an individual contemplation, but also areas for meetings, drawing society into their world. How to create on a small plot, in densely urbanised city tissue, a space that would be drawing people into its interior? How to create a public space being a forum for meetings? What are the vertical connections in a lay... Altro

The new ‘Z15’ Tower, located in the east of Beijing at the heart of the new CBD extension, will be the city’s tallest building at over 500m high, becoming an icon of the city and an emblem of China’s economic success. The tower provides the focal point of a 30-hectare masterplan which will generate a thriving new district within the CBD. This masterplan includes 2,000,000m2 of office space, six-star hotels, luxury serviced apartments and high-end retail – creating in effect a “mini-city” which will be not just a place of work but a 24-hour living environment. The existing metro station and the new monorail transportation system are fully integrated into the masterplan, meaning that the site has excellent connectivity at both local and city... Altro

Designed as the centrepiece of a large, mixed-use development on the site of the former Leeds International Swimming Pool, this tower contains residential accommodation, a hotel, office space and conference facilities. The constraints of the site suggested a triangular plan: accordingly, the 28-storey tower is formed by six interlocking isosceles triangles rising up from a triangular base, each of which creates a single elevation. The lowest and uppermost floorplates are triangular, while the intermediate floorplates are hexagonal in shape, changing at each level as the elevations expand or contract and forming a perfect hexagon at the structure's midpoint. The resulting building profile is considerably more elegant and slender than a s... Altro
