WEBSTER GREEN, NEW YORK MAP
Magnusson Architecture and Planning (MAP) recently announced the completion of Webster Green, a $30m affordable and supportive housing development in the Bedford Park neighbourhood of the Bronx. The mixed-use housing development provides apartments and supportive homes for formerly homeless individuals and families. The project is part of Governor Cuomo’s $20bn commitment to delivering affordable housing and community renewal in the State of New York. Located on a ‘greyfield’ site, the 77,000 square feet building consists of 82 apartments and 41 supportive homes. The project was designed for nonprofit developer and service provider The Doe Fund and partner Robert Sanborn Development.
COMCAST TECH CENTRE, PHILADELPHIA FOSTER + PARTNERS
WESTERN SYDNEY AIRPORT (WSA), AUSTRALIA ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS & COX ARCHITECTURE
Zaha Hadid Architects and Cox Architecture have won the international design competition for the new Western Sydney Airport (WSA) and been appointed as master architect for the project. The ZHA/Cox team was selected from a field of 40 national and international applicants. The project is a new greenfield airport in Sydney’s new western Parkland City region. It will be built in four stages of expansion, beginning with the initial stage of 10 million annual passengers (MAP) by 2026, with further increments up to 82 MAP, making it the largest international gateway to Australia by 2060. The design incorporates sustainable design principles across the building’s architecture as well as its construction principles. Cox’s project director David Holm said: “Our design takes inspiration from the unique local flora of Western Sydney and its unique natural qualities, such as the Great Australian Light.”
The opening ceremony of the new Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia marked the completion of the Comcast Technology Centre, which includes new workspaces for Comcast alongside “active” public spaces. Located next to the existing Comcast Centre, the Comcast Technology Centre rises 1,121 feet as the city’s tallest building. The building is vertically stepped, with loft-like work spaces and television studios for NBC10 and Telemundo62, with a 12-story Four Seasons Hotel above with reception on level 60. The building’s circulation follows a defined pattern on every floorplate – an internal ‘street’ runs along the centre from the elevators to the eastern edge, where the suites of the hotel are located.
