LATITUDE, PARIS STUDIOS ARCHITECTURE


MARAYA, SAUDI ARABIA STUDIO GIO FORMA


Al-Ula, a little-known region in Saudi Arabia has opened a new concert venue. The ‘Maraya’ (‘Mirror’ in Arabic) is claimed to be a “feat of modern engineering” by the designers. The building is “an extension of the environment around it in design and beauty, but at the same time has a comprehensive theatre equipped with the latest audio and lighting technology,” said Studio Gioforma. Conceived by the practice’s Massimo Foglatti and Florian Boje, the building is covered with mirrors on two sides, thereby “enhancing the natural beauty of its setting rather than competing with it.” Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Farhan inaugurated the building and praised the efforts of the Royal Commission for the province of Al-Ula, which aims at the sustainable development of the region and re-establishing it as one of the most important cultural and archaeological destinations in the country.


‘Latitude’ a joint venture between Benson Elliot and Générale Continentale Investissements (GCI) is set to create a unique working environment in the heart of La Défense, Paris. Latitude is distinctive for its lateral design, conceived by STUDIOS Architecture. The new building will provide 22,300 m2


of office space over eight


floors. Its expansive floorplates will feature landscaped break-out areas, as well as state-of- the-art amenities for both tenant and public use. Latitude will be built to the highest environmental standards and is set to receive CSR credentials including HQE ‘Exceptionnel’, BREEAM ‘Excellent’, Effinergie+, Well Core and Shell ‘ready’, and Wiredscore Platinum. The project is scheduled to complete in 2020.


SHENZHEN BAY, CHINA WILKINSONEYRE & MORPHIS


KOOLKIEL, GERMANY MVRDV


MVRDV has been selected as the designer of a 65,000 m2 mixed-use complex that will redevelop a


post-industrial site in Kiel, Germany. The proposal, which includes a hotel, offices, residences, commercial space, and an event space, makes use of a flexible design system, rather than a “fixed and unchangeable plan,” allowing the design to “adapt easily to the needs and desires of the community as the design development progresse,” said the architects. The proposal calls to retain the existing structure as commercial units, topping it with apartments. Next to this, a new building is proposed with a zig-zagging plinth containing offices and shops, topped by several cubic blocks of housing, and a small tower of office spaces. At the end of the site will sit a 250-room hotel tower. The project’s most eye-catching element is the facade panels, which are made from fibre reinforced concrete. These sit in front of the window and display a variety of icons inspired by the creative output of the locals.


Architect WilkinsonEyre and landscape architect Morphis have won a major international competition for a 6.3ha urban design and masterplan project in the Greater Bay area of Shenzhen, south east China. The design celebrates the concept of ‘City-Culture-Bay’ to create a coherent ensemble of interconnected elevated walkways, linked by escalators and stairs to a lively streetscape and basement level civic realm. The design will become an ensemble of animated places, as a series of destinations along its linear route, framed with new commercial and cultural buildings.
