Floor B1 is partially the fitness club，which comprising of a theme swimming center, gym, dancing room and basketball room. The design solution is hopefully to break the traditional horizontal and vertical space vision through the approach of innovation. The whole solution utilizes geometric modeling to realize space design and 3D modeling. The solution explores brand new ideas through three-dimensional space and is trying to create a space of body and art, meanwhile focusing on quality in the process of innovation and a careful selection of materials to keep an air of nobility. The building comprises of three floors, floor B1, 1st floor and 2nd floor. Vertical stair space is used to connect the three floors. The stair is designed in a form of flow line as if it flows down from 2nd floor to floor B1 and it is also like a sculpture. Since there are lots of equipments in the ceiling of swimming center and the building roof itself is beveled, so the ceiling space is rugged. For this reason the ceiling of swimming center is designed with the idea of flow wave.

Hills Sales Centre
Real estate sales centre by Kris Lin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is located in Taiyuan city, Shanxi Province, China. Taiyuan is an ancient city with a history of 4700 years. It is in the middle of Shanxi Highland with many high mountains and hills. Hence the project is given a name Hills with the hope to reflect the human geography. On 1st floor, it is mainly negotiating sofa area, bar, multimedia display area, model display area and reception area. It is hoped that the overall design also could embody the theme of Hills. We adopt sculpture and form the shape of mountain or palisades with three dimensional cutting. In model display area, the design concept is something like a cave. Go through the cave and the steps, it is 2nd floor. It is a tunnel and inside the tunnel, we use three dimensional cutting to represent the cliffy rock in the valley. Color of the wood veneer symbolizes soil. Going through the narrow tunnel, the other end is the bright residential house type display area for Shiwaitaoyuan. In the display area, there are three mock-up with the hope to show a perfect human life and a paradise.

MIX C SALES CENTRE
Real estate sales centre by Kris Lin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The original architectural form is a glass square box. The overall interior design can be seen from the outside of the building and the interior design is totally reflected by the elevation of the building. There are four function areas, multimedia display area, model display area, negotiating sofa area and material display area. The four function areas look scattered and isolated. So we applied a ribbon to connect the whole space to achieve two design concepts: 1. connecting the function areas 2. Forming building elevation. 1. Connecting the function areas From the material display area, the ribbon surrounded the negotiating sofa area and flow between the column and glass curtain wall, connecting the model display area, finally flows in heliciform down to the ground while defining the multimedia display area. This make multimedia display area an relatively separate area naturally blended into the overall space. 2. Forming building elevation The original building form of glass box looks empty without a theme. So we add a ribbon into the interior space. The ribbon can not only connect the function areas but also form elevation of the building through glass curtain wall. It is the highlight of the building.

Osaka - Sao Paulo Restaurant by Ariel Chemi / AGCH arquitectos
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Osaka restaurant in Sao Paulo, is the consequence of a perfect mix between the Nikkei style and the Brazilian tropical culture atmosphere. Located in the Itaim Bibi neighbor, Osaka shows proudly his architecture and food, offering an intimate and cozy ambiance in its different spaces. The outdoor terrace next to the street, is a modern urban courtyard which connect interior, exterior and nature. Inside the main space, a huge hanging “nest” lighting element, provides illumination and an appropriate spatial scale. Lamella roof system with dim lighting, and wood latticework were carefully studied in order to complete the harmonizing interior design, in order to generate a dynamic and natural way to connect the sushi & cocktails faced bars. In the upper level, a second cocktails bar next to the big central hole gives character to the environment, where different private rooms are located. The sophisticated aesthetic was materialized with the use of natural elements and some specific patterns. Wall coverings textures with stones/wood, wooden floors, plants, water, iron details and dim illuminating techniques join to create the mood.

Das Brot.
Bread Bakery and Restaurant by Designliga
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
TASK: Design and realization of the interior design (LP 1-8) and corporate design including packaging for the bread bakery “Das Brot.” at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg. As the communications platform of the Volkswagen Group, the Autostadt in Wolfsburg brings the values of Volkswagen to life. The restaurants at the Autostadt are operated by the Swiss company Mövenpick. All foods used at the Autostadt are selected with a view to the transparency and regionality of all growers, producers and production methods. All foods served in the bread bakery “Das Brot.” are 100 per cent organic. SOLUTION: “Das Brot.“ has a design concept that shows off high-quality local materials and focusses on traditional artisan crafts. In the functional areas of the restaurant, the bakery and dining area flow into each other, creating a constantly changing ambient perspective. From the clean, clear lines of the ‘workshop’ area to the homely familiarity of the long table where guests sit down together, the feeling created by the restaurant space shifts and transforms. The patterns of the floor echo the breadmaking process, in which a metamorphosis takes place from field to wheat, from wheat to flour and from flour - with water - to bread. The symbolic presentation of this creative process has both narrative and decorative value. At the same time, the floor design bears witness to an uncompromising quality of craftsmanship.

SOLUTION: “Das Brot.“ has a design concept that shows off high-quality local materials and focusses on traditional artisan crafts. In the functional areas of the restaurant, the bakery and dining area flow into each other, creating a constantly changing ambient perspective. From the clean, clear lines of the ‘workshop’ area to the homely familiarity of the long table where guests sit down together, the feeling created by the restaurant space shifts and transforms. The patterns of the floor echo the breadmaking process, in which a metamorphosis takes place from field to wheat, from wheat to flour and from flour - with water - to bread. The symbolic presentation of this creative process has both narrative and decorative value. At the same time, the floor design bears witness to an uncompromising quality of craftsmanship.

Halle A by Designliga
Workspace design by Designliga
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
//Customer info: Halle A is the studio of the Designliga design bureau and Form & Code, its strategic partner in Web and application development.// //Task: Design and execution interior architecture (LP 1-8), design furnishings.// //Solution: Until its conversion, 10.4-metre-high hall was a metal-working shop for the Munich utilities company Stadtwerke München. The initial intention of preserving the character of the hall was carried out, and a studio was created which builds on the industrial atmosphere of the space and continues its external features throughout its interior. The colour palette is based on the materials and textures prevalent in the complex, whose brick buildings primarily house skilled trades. The structure of the hall interior is determined by two ridge-roof buildings containing two floors of individual offices. Together with the old foreman's office, they form an ensemble which produces the effect of a roofed village square in the intervening space. Despite the size of this space, it is divided into distinct zones and functional areas which creates a feeling of intimacy. The upper area of the space is taken up by the top floors of the buildings and the two conference and meeting-rooms in the old foreman's office. The kitchen is designed as a private room for staff, while the library is where visitors are received and spontaneous meetings are held. The cabinets lining the walls each end in a counter-top that designates the start of the work area. These cabinets combine a variety of functions; they are used for storage and filing, as well as serving as standing workplaces and reception counters. Halle A is a studio, workplace and living space for the people that work here and for our visitors.//

Organic Cities
New Cities by Luca Curci
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Luca Curci architects studio has designed a landmark for the United Arab Emirates skyline with an innovative project based on the concept of "Organic Cities". The organic buildings become part of the new megalopolis, merging and mixing residential elements with business divisions, shopping life with wellness areas, cultural places with social life. The aim is to create a common place where people can live, meet, learn, work, socialize and create new mixing cultures. The total floor area will host more than 150.000 habitants, with 50% of the lot area dedicated to green and connections, open areas, common grounds, places. More than 800.000 square meters dedicated to hotels, spa, wellness areas, 6.300.000 square meters to shopping malls, galleries, museums, 4.500.000 square meters to offices and other social services. The project is organized in 2 groups: organic buildings on the earth, and "moons" on the sea. All of them are connected and linked each other with roads, parks, and running streets. The aggregations on the ground are futuristic and have organic shapes. The waves on the sea are divided into 3 kinds: the smaller are private residences with a private approach from the sea and from the air. The middle "moons" are hotels that can be reached by the sea, the road and the air. The biggest "moons" are residences, hotels and private apartments. Covering a total constructed area of 600.000 square meters, the program will host residencies, offices and collective and commercial spaces. The tallest building will reach 470 meters while the second and third of the first group on the ground will successively descend in height. The tallest "moon" on the sea will reach 190 meters while the second 115 meters and the third 90 meters. The aggregations of buildings near the sea have shapes conceived to live on desert ground, because they can be realized on it. The idea starts from the nature structures that are able to live near the sea, with sun and wind and any kind of natural element. They exist to be the future and evolution of contemporary metropolis. This kind of structures will develop again the connections between humans, during everyday life, with thousand of common places that will aggregate crowds, to win the alienation of XX and XXI century cities. The masterplan has been created to be adaptive and to be evolved. It will depend on the different places where to build it. The first 5 buildings and 5 moons are completely full of any king of services are available to be built in our contemporary cities, with a great attention to social life, human connections, common places where to meet, real social life. This is the cities evolution.

Tianjin Insun Lotte Cinema
Cinema by Ajax Law & Virginia Lung
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Located at the tranquil and roomy Cultural District, the contemporary Tianjin Grand Theatre has filled the whole perimeter with the ambience that is provoked by the theatre’s important contents and openness. The overwhelming modernism has been entirely occupied the cinema’s surrounding, in a form that all the lines are connected at this one single point, which has also motivated the interior of the cinema. From the first place, it was a silent white entrance lobby with minimalist style, yet in between of the white walls and floor surface, some white sheeps and ostriches rush into the interior with a TV on each of their backs that is playing various movie trailers. In order to take part of the “colourful animals sport games” at the cinema. Where they are heading to is the multicolored 3-dimensional tracks all over the ceiling, the wall and the floor. Meanwhile, aside of the floor track, a bunch of candidates, including bear, ostrich, rhinoceros, elephant and dinosaur, are already waiting for the race to start. While they are taking part of the game, they are taking the role as ticket booths by the way. On the other hand, those ribbons-looking tracks feature is not only synchronizing the design within the ticket lobby area, the text screens that are hiding within the ceiling tracks also help to add utilitarian element into the design theme. Running along the tracks ahead, here comes the corridor area that leads to different theatres of the cinema. As the lobby is said to be the “tracks” of track-and-field games, the corridor is consequently becoming the “field” of the games. The green tones of the tracks has greatly spread out to the walls and ceiling of this area, thus the vibrant of the theme can be strongly emphasized here. Just as those in the ticket lobby, animals playing here are also taking particular responsibilities to serve the audiences in the corridor area. For instance, foxes and baboons lend their backs to provide several seats, while giraffes and camels, etc, keep concentrating on competition on tracks, so the energetic atmosphere can only grow stronger in the interior. Furthermore, some ribbons on the ceiling suddenly convert into monkeys, and even 3D wording light boxes. It seems like their aim is to lead the audiences to their desired movies before the runners could. Finally the audiences have reached the theatres, their breaths slow down, ambiance of the interior grow silent, and all the vibrancies go back to the movies. The four main chromes of blue, green, yellow and purple crawl along the wall hung fixture of their tones, then they eventually settle on the seats in a random manner, as well as a set of gray and black geometric line pattern on the carpet finish.

Some of the most fulfilling designs are those embedded and contextualised in their local culture. It was the designer’s intent from the outset to reflect, in the architectural expression, the vibrant nature of Asia, Hong Kong and Wanchai. The shading device on the hotel façade resembles a dragon; the glass bottomed cantilevered pool is considered as a pearl often associated with dragons. The hotel design also provides legibility at both the City (macro) and Human (micro) scale.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The university is located in Suzhou, where the famous Taihu stone is unearthed. The design of the Administration Information Building was inspired by the porous nature of the stone due to long time of erosion. The pores and holes are transformed into a void structure with functional spaces linking up different programmes of the building. The voids also allow the building to respond to the users and surrounding context and turn it into a vessel for interaction. The different heights of voids also create a three-dimensional Suzhou garden within the building.

Screen House
Eco Residential by Renaissance Planners & Designers
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The existing house was dark and poor cross ventilation. Therefore we propose a new concept to have large windows, but at the same time filtering the heat from the sun. The stairs acts as an airwell with a skylight and ventilation vents.Thus improving the air circulation in the house keeping it constantly cool. The screen on the external facade not only acts as shade from the sun but also giving privacy for the user as the neighbouring houses are built closely to each other.

Architecture Factory
Cork Institute of Technology by Marc O Riain & Neil Tobin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Architecture Factory is a third level education and learning space situated in a disused split-level warehouse. The brief was informed primarily by cost effective occupancy and the desire for studio pedagogy. The design avoided traditional subdivision of walls and ceilings; requiring sub divided servicing and expensive firewalls. 6 shipping containers function as lecturer's offices dividing the space it into open studios separated from a mezzanine by an open boulevard acting as an exploration-learning lab, an opportunistic exhibition space, and the main circulation. Creating a visually open connection between occupants to encourage interaction between peer groups. Below the mezzanine frameless glazing minimally delineate the recessed acoustic boundaries avoiding a long monolithic horizontal interior façade. The balcony anamorphically distorts the perspectival emphasis. First floor transparencies offer excitement and vista to the activities below. Green shipping containers, reuse embodied energy and radiate a chromatic energy within the space. Roof sections are serrated creating a repetitive texture angled southward for light and away from the mezzanine windows for privacy. The resulting textural composition creates differing cognate compositions depending on whether they are viewed from above or below. Open plan studios occupy parti spaces between geometric organizations of containers in un-partitioned relief. Dedicated work-spaces with wire shelving above, function as both storage and acoustic baffle. The 6 acoustically open offices and studios function intelligibility well. Enclosed seminar rooms below the mezzanine provide more acoustically private spaces for theory delivery and discussion. Student-to-student learning is a natural consequence. The industrial heritage of the building strongly influenced how the scheme aesthetic maintained the genius loci. The use of containers reflects the manufacturing process. The white and grey provides an interior canvas carefully refined to minimize complexity. Color proportionality and density emphasizes the containers but is sensitively balanced not to perceptively dominate the space.

Malopolska Garden of Arts (MGA)
Performing arts centre & mediatheque by Ingarden & Ewý Architects
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The building of MGA introduced new spatial order to the old backyards and ruined buildings in Rajska and Szujskiego streets in Krakow. The starting point was a multifunctional hall, which was entered into the outline of the old, 19th-century horse-riding arena, used in the last years of its history as workshops and storage space for the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Kraków. The Małopolska Garden of Arts is a cross between two institutions: the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre and the Malopolska Voivodeship Library. The wing on Szujskiego street holds a modern art and media library, with multimedia books and music, while the section standing on Rajska street has been developed by the theatre, and is equipped with a multifunctional events hall. The new hall – operating, as a studio theatre, conference room, concert hall, and venue for banquets and exhibitions – holds retractable stages for 300 people. State-of-the-art stage technology is present overhead: fixed on hoists and cranes to the steel ceiling girders. This allows dramas and concerts to be performed, and exhibitions, film screenings, symposiums, conferences, art auctions, fashion shows, and many more events to be held. Altogether, the space of about 4300 sq.m houses a theatre together with a cosy cinema with 98 seats, a café, and premises for the organisation of educational, art-related activities. Honing the form, the architects focused on interaction with the future recipients, which is why the entire spatial form of the symbolic, openwork roofing raised over the garden from the side of Rajska Street – though not functioning as an actual roof – is there to transport the gateway to the stage out onto the street. In this way, the building delicately nudges passers-by with the skilful manipulation of the form, already at first glance giving the onlooker the impression of going beyond the borders of a garden, where culture is grown in evenly planted rows. Further proof of the sophisticated play with the space is the garden itself. Imitating flower beds, the equal bands with low greens are a metaphor of a garden: as much as the architects could afford here. A notable fact is that historically “ulica Rajska” – literally “Paradise Street” – led to the Garden of Paradise, which was later replaced by the developments of the Tobacco Works. The final impact is the result of the designers’ sensitivity to signals coming from the environment. For example, the opening in the perforated roof of the garden was formed, especially for the maple tree that grows there. In this place, the cultural life of the Kraków’s young artistic set will blossom under a shared roof. Modern ballet, contemporary theatre forms, audio and video arts, concerts, and all and any other artistic pursuits will find their home here.

This allows dramas and concerts to be performed, and exhibitions, film screenings, symposiums, conferences, art auctions, fashion shows, and many more events to be held. Altogether, the space of about 4300 sq.m houses a theatre together with a cosy cinema with 98 seats, a café, and premises for the organisation of educational, art-related activities. Honing the form, the architects focused on interaction with the future recipients, which is why the entire spatial form of the symbolic, openwork roofing raised over the garden from the side of Rajska Street – though not functioning as an actual roof – is there to transport the gateway to the stage out onto the street. In this way, the building delicately nudges passers-by with the skilful manipulation of the form, already at first glance giving the onlooker the impression of going beyond the borders of a garden, where culture is grown in evenly planted rows. Further proof of the sophisticated play with the space is the garden itself. Imitating flower beds, the equal bands with low greens are a metaphor of a garden: as much as the architects could afford here. A notable fact is that historically “ulica Rajska” – literally “Paradise Street” – led to the Garden of Paradise, which was later replaced by the developments of the Tobacco Works. The final impact is the result of the designers’ sensitivity to signals coming from the environment. For example, the opening in the perforated roof of the garden was formed, especially for the maple tree that grows there. In this place, the cultural life of the Kraków’s young artistic set will blossom under a shared roof. Modern ballet, contemporary theatre forms, audio and video arts, concerts, and all and any other artistic pursuits will find their home here.
Performing arts centre & mediatheque by Ingarden & Ewý Architects
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The building of MGA introduced new spatial order to the old backyards and ruined buildings in Rajska and Szujskiego streets in Krakow. The starting point was a multifunctional hall, which was entered into the outline of the old, 19th-century horse-riding arena, used in the last years of its history as workshops and storage space for the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Kraków. The Małopolska Garden of Arts is a cross between two institutions: the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre and the Malopolska Voivodeship Library. The wing on Szujskiego street holds a modern art and media library, with multimedia books and music, while the section standing on Rajska street has been developed by the theatre, and is equipped with a multifunctional events hall. The new hall – operating, as a studio theatre, conference room, concert hall, and venue for banquets and exhibitions – holds retractable stages for 300 people. State-of-the-art stage technology is present overhead: fixed on hoists and cranes to the steel ceiling girders.

TAKEMOTO Japanese Restaurant - by Arthur Wing Fat Chan
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A new theatrical dining experience cross-over traditional Japanese cuisine. The restaurant contains a “thirty people open dining area” and “eleven VIP rooms” .The open dining area and stage like food bar were surrounded by an illuminated uplight glass walk path which made the centre stage as a statement. Natural bamboo ceiling feature with directional spot lights in a dark color open ceiling is another dramatic element to the main theme and helps drawing attention to the centre. VIP rooms were visually connected through a wood frame sliding door inserted with an engraved sandblasted glass panel of traditional fabric weaving pattern. Combination of different shades of neutral warm tone gives a rustic outlook while dark color wood made it contrasting. Natural wood and stone finishes from smooth to heavy texture together with stage lighting effect to create layers of color shade and depth.

Folded Tones
Rug by Enoch Liew
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Three-dimensionality and the illusion of depth were achieved with just three colours. It was a conscious effort to limit the number of colours for adaptability and flexibility. The variety of tones and depth of the rug is dependent on the width and density of the stripes, rather than a large palette of colours that may jar with a particular space.

Steam
Tea Maker by Hakan Gürsu
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Steam is a stove-top tea maker. It brews tea by passing hot water pressurized by steam through stacked kettles. Reflecting upon tea culture in east, Steam has stacking teapots specially designed for tea preparation. Larger lower kettle is filled with water to boil, and then boiled water evaporates into upper kettle, steeping loose-leaf tea blend rather slowly. When desired amount is collected in upper part, switch on top is turned to stop water transfer. Serving is made using two kettles with poured tea and water to dilute, therefore allowing user to adjust the strength of drink. Since tea is steeped with water steam, it offers a full flavor tea brew. Showing tea color, glass teapot is complemented with glass cups. Aluminum and glass materials are used along recycled plastics; including stainless steel base all parts are fully recyclable. Harmonizing elements from traditional craft teapots and naturalist art, Steam is designed to create a modern, sculptural tea serving set.

Gamsei
Cocktail Bar by Buero Wagner / F. Wagner with A. Kreft
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Gamsei - a cocktailbar rethought When owner and head bartender Matthew Bax opened Gamsei 2013 in Munich's trendy neighbourhood Glockenbach, he introduced hyper-localism to a field of practice which had till then been mainly confined to the food scene. At Gamsei, ingredients for cocktails like Lavender Drunk Bee and Frühlingserwachen, are either wildly foraged by Bax and his team or grown by local artesian farmers, thus reestablishing a connection with local products, region and culture and offering something that is unique in its kind. Bax, an Australian artist and founder of three bars, envisioned his fourth as an antidote to the globalization of cocktail bars; why drink the very same cocktail in every bar you go to in the world? Why not experience the excitement of the new when sipping a cocktail? The bar interior, designed by Fabian A. Wagner of Buero Wagner and Andreas Kreft, is a clear continuation of this philosophy – looking for new configurations whilst paying a tribute to the local Bavarian culture and craftsmanship. The ambience of a Bavarian beer hall has been applied to the 40m² interior through amphitheater-style benches against opposing walls thus eliminating the common separation of bartender and guest. Here interaction is key and everybody has a first row seat. From either tribune guests enjoy a view onto the two centrally placed bars and follow how Bax and his team mix, shake and stir up the cocktails. Also the bars have been stripped of all boundaries: workspace and bar are one. Dried flowers, herbs and leaves are stored and displayed in a wooden built-in cupboard that stretches the full length of the back wall; Besides ingredients, also the coffee machine and even the doors to the bathrooms and laboratory are seamlessly integrated and can be flexibly displayed or disguised behind lattices. Tribunes, bars and cupboards are made of solid oak with a natural oil finish. White ceramic bottles, containing self-made liqueurs, syrups and essences, are suspended from a black steel mesh attached to the ceiling. In-between light bulbs make for a reduced lighting scheme by night. Just like Bax’s cocktail ingredients, the architects procured all materials such as wood, steel and ceramics (custom-made by Gefäß & Objekt, Bachern) locally, and worked in close collaboration with local carpenters and manufacturers to produce custom-made solutions. Gamsei is a wholly integrated concept that turns the event of drinking a cocktail into a novel experience. The refreshing take on the cocktail bar extends further: bartenders, dressed in uniform leather aprons, serve their guests an amuse-gueule, such as “Biersand”, after taking their coats upon entering, and the tribunes on either side - allow for sports broadcasts.
