BUDAPEST BRIDGE, HUNGARY UNSTUDIO
UNStudio has won an international architectural design competition for the New Budapest Bridge – the first international bridge design competition in Hungary for over 120 years. UNStudio’s design “places a new landmark bridge within the Budapest landscape that is both contemporary in design and innovative in structural form,” said the architects. A cable- stayed bridge with a main span of 220 metres offers unobstructed views on multiple levels from and towards the bridge and creates a new urban landmark underlining the development of Budapest’s south. The steel pylons are finished in a sheen finish white paint. This finish “endows the bridge with an ever changing appearance, as the result of its ability to pick up tints and tones from the surrounding environ ment”.
SIEBEL CENTER FOR DESIGN, URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, USA BOHLIN CYWINSKI JACKSON
The University of Illinois has celebrated the groundbreaking for the new Siebel Center for Design. The new facility, designed by architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ), will provide UI students with spaces for “making and learning” across all disciplines. “We wanted to create a building that focuses on human-centred design, one that encourages students to think more broadly,” said architect Peter Bohlin, BCJ’s founding principal. “Everything will have multiple uses – we imagine people utilising the spaces in ways neither you nor I can predict.” The 59,000 ft2
building will feature five collaboration studios that
house up to 400 students; a large-scale construction and prototyping studio; and an open-space workshop. There will also be dedicated rooms for digital audio, video and virtual reality technologies, as well as public gathering spaces and galleries.
360° VIEW TOWER, FRANCE LAN ARCHITECTURE
LAN Architecture Office has just delivered the first building of the future Polaris District – The 360° View Tower, a “panoramic” 18-storey tower in Nantes. The 360° View Tower represents the “end and the beginning” of the Brossette block, said the architects. The building is the highest of all buildings comprising the city block, culminating at 55 metres above the ground floor. The 360° View Tower takes full advantage of its height, “opening broadly onto its context and especially onto the Loire River and the city’s historic centre. The building serves as a signal for the development”.
YUQIAO SCIENCE INNOVATION CENTRE, CHINA BENOY
Benoy has won the design competition for the Yuqiao Science Innovation Centre project in Shanghai. Benoy’s winning design is spread over three plots and connected via above-ground pedestrian walkways. At each “main connection point” there is a prominent plaza which will act as a “natural gathering area and focal point” for the retail and commercial offerings within the development. The project has been specifically designed to cater to artificial intelligence (AI) development, identified as one of the top priority industries in the country. The “AI Park” will be the most prominent component of the scheme and be integrated with research and commercial facilities including high-end office towers, corporate headquarters, retail, an intelligent R&D building and serviced apartments. “Our design has balanced the needs of the growing business community with the vision to create a world-leading science innovation centre. We have worked to integrate each of the components seamlessly so the centre will be a place to bring differing user groups together,” explained Benoy director and lead designer Qin Pang.
