Located in the south-east area of Milan, The Sign Edificio D houses the new headquarters of L’Oréal Italia within the wider The Sign Business District. Extending across approximately 13,000 square metres over nine above-ground floors, the building is conceived as part of a larger urban regeneration framework. Its sustainability agenda operates at several levels: through the continuity it establishes with the public realm, the environmental performance embedded in its envelope, and the wider ecological strategy of the district in which it sits. Rather than presenting itself as an isolated object, Progetto CMR organised the building around the principle of connectivity. This is visible in both its spatial planning and its urban... More

The ConceptShoreline conceptually plays on the ‘coastline paradox’ - our efforts to measure the length of our vast coastline. Although different methods of measurement yield vastly different results (Australia’s coastline is approximately 36,375 km), our fascination with this paradox is associated with Sydney’s long tradition of modifying, via carving or addition, its water edges to situate cultural and recreation programs. The city’s tidal ocean and harbour pools serve as preeminent examples of activating the shoreline in this way. Operating literally, we take the desired circulation path from the Ferry Terminal to the beginning (or end) of the Wulugal Walk and expand it by increasing its length whilst fixing... More

MI.C is a project of urban design, landscape and architecture that aims to regenerate the multi-faceted polarity of Stazione Centrale.

The tower in Vienna’s Donauplatte area complements the towers DC 1 and DC 2 by Dominique Perrault and offers 832 apartments for temporary living. The 100-meter-high building is connected on several levels to the existing Donaucity quarter as well as to the transport network via public plazas and paths. The projections of the three-dimensionally warped façade elements correspond to cozy alcoves, which frame the view of the Danube and the city in every room. Dietrich Untertrifaller Urban Context The narrow property – hardly more than a traffic island, surrounded by Wagramerstraße, motorway access and underground line – presented us with great planning challenges. But the attractive location on the Danube... More

Water is abundant on Earth, 71% of the planet' surface is covered by oceans.Unfortunately this water is too salty to be used for drinking, hygiene, agriculture or even for the industrial process, in fact: Water scarcity is one of the most pressing issues of our time. "Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all" of the United Nation's 17 SDGs tackles this issue, defining an agenda to give access to fresh water to millions of people in the upcoming 5 to 20 years. Is it possible to transform the oceans in immense fresh water reservoirs? Is it possible to make it with a carbon neutral process? Caption DH2OME is a game-changing infrastructure that aims to provide gallons of fresh water every day where is most needed. Many of... More
