The Konoba Ćakula restaurant, is located in at Vladimira Nazor 7, near the Episcopal Complex of the Euphrasian Basilica in the Historic Centre of Poreč (Croatia) that is also a part of the UNESCO World Heritage. KORIDOR 27 My inspiration was the very word "Ćakula", which means "conversation" or "chat" in the Istrian dialect.I wanted to give the Istrian soul to the restaurant in a modern way using stone, micro concrete, corten and oak wood. KORIDOR 27 The ceiling that I designed and that was made by a hardworking team of carpenters consists of 3500 wooden cylinders of different dimensions that represent a lot of different conversations, which in most cases are all different. That's why I called those cylinders: "Ćakule".The penda... More

Nevertheless, converting the pumping station Neukölln to a studio and apartment building was the first job to enable Jan Wiese to truly demonstrate his aspirations and capabilities. As if all that would not have been difficult enough, the builders were the artist couple Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, who had chosen the pumping station as their Berlin-domicile. One could have started simpler. Udo Meinel Udo Meinel But hardly more spectacularly, as it is astonishing to see how existing elements of the building were preserved and redefined, while the new elements were integrated simultaneously.

With the development of internet and society, people spend more time to live and work at their own dwelling. We are willing to change the stereotype of a residence space which originally should be only cosy, warm and relaxiable. We hope this apartment, should also show an impression of passion, fashion and full of visual impact, which is positive to give a different attitude of the life style with more freedom and maybe a little more rebel.  Caption We try to create a unlimited open space by eliminating the boundaries of the sharing rooms, in which we combine colors and materials to mark different function blocks. By contrast, for the privacy needs, the main bedrooms entrance are hiding behind the paintings on the wall, another b... More

Site planning We divided the entire building into a front and rear building in a courtyard-like configuration similar to China. The front building is for the public domain and the main funded member families, and the rear building is for other family members and ancillary spaces. The semi-open air spa area serves as its transition space. The atrium between the two buildings provides sunlight and green plants and can be brought into the activities of family members.

Design Concept：The location of this project is on the south side of the Shangri-La Park in Miaoli. Through the Forest BIG initiative, it is currently undergoing a transition period as the area is transformed into a forest that serves as a model intersecting both human and natural experiences and the gathering of knowledge. In a large experimental base field such as this, the five-needle pine and secondary forest vegetation which surround it create a pond and garden-esque landscape. Outside of this landscape, within the native foliage the occasional abandoned equipment or facility of the previously existing amusement park create a unique postmodern landscape where the land has been reclaimed by nature. Main building:An abandoned residen...

Designed as a complex trade base and two office blocks located on Mevlana Boulevard, one of the developing arteries of Ankara. The base, which contains 26 commerce, serves 3 different items. It is connected to the public by the main street, to the office masses from the upper level and to the dormitories from the rear entrance. Thus, a rich and intense trade axis with different profiles from different entrances was created. The office blocks, rising in the form of two towers of 153 and 116 meters, contain 102 offices. A massive rising glass mass and white horizontal floors attached to this mass create a holistic design and reveal a plain and modern architecture.   Ankara'nın gelişen arterlerinden Mevlana Bulvarı üzerinde konumla...

Pritzker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel sought inspiration for the concept of Louvre Abu Dhabi in traditional Arabic architectural culture, and designed Louvre Abu Dhabi as a ‘museum city’ in the sea.

In total, 55 individual but connected buildings, including 26 galleries, make up this museum city. The façades of the buildings are made up of 3,900 panels of ultra-high performance fibre concrete (UHPC). The museum design is a collaboration between traditional design and modern construction techniques. The tranquil environment encourages visitors to enjoy the ever-changing relationship between the sun and the dome and betwee... More
