PUNTA COLORADA MASTERPLAN, CUBA
PDP LONDON
PDP London has been appointed masterplan architect for new 700 ha resort in western Cuba, winning an international competition. A collaboration between PDP London Architects and Urban Designers with DSC Group and an expert team of international consultants, the proposed development at Punta Colorada presents a unique opportunity to create one of the world's finest golf destinations. At the heart of the development, four 9-hole golf courses will allow visitors to create their own 18-hole course from any combination they choose. The central golf club will provide the spatial link between the four distinct golf experiences on offer. Sustainability has been a crucial factor throughout the design process, to protect, enhance and curate the existing landscapes in synergy with the proposed new interventions. Ref: 2802
GOTHENBURG CABLE CAR, SWEDEN UNSTUDIO
UNStudio’s design has been selected as the winning entry in the competition to design Gothenburg’s cable car. The new cable car system will comprise one cable car line with four stations, and six towers and is one of a number of projects undertaken by the City of Gothenburg to mark its 400th
anniversary in
2021. The 3 km long Gothenburg cable car line starts at Järntorget, where it links to a bus and tram transfer node. It then crosses the river and continues to three further stations in the north of the city. Inspired by and referencing the steady motion of Gothenburg’s famous shipyard cranes, the six towers will continue across the landscape as sculptures, defining a new city skyline and symbolically connecting the history of the RiverCity with its future. At night, the illumination of the towers is achieved by spotlights that line the inside of the tower beam surface. The stations are not only designed around principles of natural wayfinding and social safety, but also with a strong identity in mind that will make them clearly recognisable as destination points within the city.

PERSPECTIVE OFFICE, TURKEY SLASH ARCHITECTS
Slash Architects’ first building in Mersin, one of the major towns in Turkey, is a four storey mixed use project. The design has been shaped around segregating the different characteristics of shopping and offices on the facade according to their needs. As the front facade serves customers, the office building has a segregated entrance on the back facade. This facade has an envelope of wooden sun-blinds which are held by a horizontal grid system. This design allows the building to create inner gardens where a lot of greenery is integrated. Ref: 7373
