Osaka - Sao Paulo Restaurant by Ariel Chemi / AGCH arquitectosPROJECT 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 DesignligaPROJECT 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.

Halle A by Designliga Workspace design by DesignligaPROJECT 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 CurciPROJECT 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 LungPROJECT 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.

Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island Architecture - Hotel by AedasPROJECT DESCRIPTION: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.
