KÜÇÜK ÇAMLICA TV TOWER, TURKEY NEWTECNIC
Construction of Istanbul’s 356-metre high Küçük Çamlıca TV Tower (KCTV), with facades devised by UK building engineering designers Newtecnic, has commenced. When the futuristic building is completed, the £36m structure will be the city’s tallest and will replace several unsightly existing broadcast towers. The tower, which will host 125 broadcasting transmitters, is expected to attract 4.5 million annual visitors and become a new city landmark. The tower, which incorporates restaurants, exhibition and meeting spaces, two observation decks and a panoramic elevator, was wind tunnel tested. Ref: 7301

BERGGRUEN INSTITUTE SCHOLARS CAMPUS, LOS ANGELES HERZOG & DE MEURON
The Berggruen Institute has unveiled plans for a new campus in Los Angeles designed by Herzog & de Meuron, supported by Gensler as executive architect. The campus masterplan and its design respond to both the Berggruen Institute’s desire to respect and restore the landscape of its 447-acre site, over 90 per cent of which will be preserved as open space. A “landscape vision as much as an architectural project,” the design by Herzog & de Meuron in collaboration with Michel Desvigne Paysagiste and Inessa Hansch Architecte, concentrates development within previously graded areas, and thereby limits topographic changes. The principal site for the campus will be a long mountain ridge that was scraped and flattened in the 1980s to cap a landfill. The design envisions the ridge being restored and transformed into a linear park or gardened plinth, landscaped with drought-resistant plants and incorporating the collection, filtration and re-use of water. Plans call for a low-density campus featuring meeting and study spaces, scholars’ residences and gardens along the linear park. The campus will follow the existing contours of the ridge and make use of infrastructure that is already in place. Ref: 1034
Henning Larsen has won an international design competition for a high-rise building in Manila’s Bonifacio Global City financial district. The architects, who collaborated with landscape architects SLA and BuroHappold Engineering, beat off stiff competition from NSI + CAZA, DP Architects, JDS Architects SPRL and J. Mayer H. and Partner + Collaborative Architecture. The winning 308 metre tower design also features a large public plaza with a dense tree canopy, while the tower itself includes workspaces, restaurants, a civic centre with exhibition spaces, and a public observatory. The middle part of the tower offers generous daylighting, social spaces and green terraces and atriums. The building is envisaged as a ‘lighthouse’ for the city at night, with its illuminated pinnacle, while the observation deck will provide views across the city during the day. Ref: 6696
