CASA CELINA, NEW YORK CITY MAGNUSSON
Magnusson Architecture + Planning (MAP) are working on their design for 100 per cent affordable senior housing in the Bronx, New York City. Casa Celina will be a 16-storey building comprising 200 senior units. Amenities will include an exercise/fitness room, laundry room, lounge areas, a ground floor community space, and a landscaped rooftop terrace. The north/south orientation of the site and building provides an opportunity for energy generation through a large solar array. The angled recesses of the windows and articulation of the facade were then added to shade the east/west facing units and mitigate heat gain. The building includes sustainability and resiliency measures intended to achieve LEED Gold Certification, among other standards.

GOLDSUN HEADQUARTERS, TAIWAN FOSTER + PARTNERS
Foster + Partners have revealed the design for Goldsun Group’s new headquarters in Taipei, following a successful ‘Urban Design Approval’. Part of the Nangang urban regeneration project, the project seeks to introduce a new mixed-use typology to the area. The complex, which contains office spaces alongside residential and retail areas, is arranged around a central courtyard. Nature played a key role in the design, with skygardens located on various levels. The skygardens will encourage naturally daylit and ventilated spaces throughout the buildings. With rooftop photovoltaic panels and other sustainable measures, the project targets a LEED Gold rating. The building blocks are supported by six cores that combine structure and services. The glazed “floating volumes” are suspended between each of the solid cores using steel mega-trusses forming an “expressed structural system,” creating flexible, large-span floorplates.
Ennead Architects has been announced winner of an international design competition for the Shanghai Yangtze River Estuary Chinese Sturgeon Nature Preserve. Led by Ennead Design partner Thomas Wong, in partnership with Andropogon Landscape Architects, the project is an ambitious plan to rescue critically endangered species and restore biodiversity to a habitat beset by pollution and the impact of previous construction. The proposed design features dramatic forms that “take cues from the rippling surface of the river and the landscape of the Upper Yangtze while also evoking biomorphic anatomy and an ark.”
