ISENBERG BUSINESS HUB, USA BIG
SHANGHAI SHIPYARD, CHINA FARRELLS
Commissioned as masterplanners and architects for the first phase, Farrells are delivering the vision for Shanghai’s Shipyard. The Lujiazui Central Financial District of Pudong is the first ‘national financial zone’ in China, which builds on Shanghai’s economic and cultural foundations. The architects’ vision is to create a “lively, vibrant, and iconic destination as an extension or ‘missing piece’ of the Pudong district, complementing the Central Business District.” The project comprises two office towers within the wider masterplan. The two towers, along with the integration of several office and residential buildings, act as a “gateway” into the retail element of the site with a podium and several shopping “villas” sitting above ground. The retail areas are linked underground throughout the site.
of “hyper-collaborative” study and social space to one of the top-30 public business schools in the United States. The Business Innovation Hub’s exterior is clad in copper, so long-term exposure to the elements will naturally weather the metal from a dark ochre to an enduring patina. With longevity and sustainability in mind, the building also targets LEED Silver certification. “Daylight peers between the accordion-like pillars to illuminate the multi-storey atrium,” said the architects.

METSÄ PAVILION, JAPAN HELIN & CO. ARCHITECTS
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN’S BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES BUILDING, USA ENNEAD ARCHITECTS & SMITHGROUP
Design firms Ennead Architects (Design Architect) and SmithGroup (Architect of Record) have celebrated the grand opening of the University of Michigan’s new Biological Sciences Building (BSB) in Ann Arbor. Characterised by a transparent, “open-lab” concept that combines cutting-edge scientific research and the new home of the U-M Museum of Natural History, the BSB establishes a new paradigm in science education for a university that is widely recognised as one of the US’ leading research institutions. The form of the BSB creates public views deep into the facility. The five-storey structure is comprised of three terracotta and glass-clad towers connected by two large and transparent atria that bring light deep into the laboratories and public spaces.
The Metsä Pavilion in Tokyo, Japan designed by Helin & Co Architects will be used during the Summer 2020 Olympics. Pekka Helin from Helin & Co. Architects described the design process as “an interesting and challenging project.” The Metsä Pavilion will be made from industrially manufactured Kerto LVL elements and will be easy to dismantle for relocation elsewhere. “The pavilion needed to be based on industrial products, instead of being a complicated, fancy structure,” Helin explained. Japan’s long traditions in timber construction, served as an inspiration during the design process. The Metsä Pavilion is an example of unique, beautiful architecture based on industrial wooden elements.
