PACIFIC PLAZA PARK, DALLAS SWA GROUP
RED SEA AIRPORT, SAUDI ARABIA FOSTER + PARTNERS
Plans for the new Red Sea Airport by Foster + Partners have been revealed. The airport is set to welcome an expected one million visitors by 2030 and to be a transit hub for visitors coming via both land and air. The airport has been designed to remove the hassle associated with travel by providing a “tranquil and memorable experience for passengers from the moment they arrive,” said the architects. The design of the terminal aims to "bring the experience of a private aircraft terminal to every traveller, with smaller spaces that feel luxurious and personalised.” The form of the roof shells is inspired by the desert dunes, while cantilevers on the landside and airside provide shade for the passengers. The airport has also been designed to run on 100 per cent renewable energy.
SWA Group has designed Pacific Plaza, a new 3.74-acre public park in the middle of downtown Dallas that aims to transform a former industrial site into a welcoming urban environment for the 21st century. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, the park replaces a barren surface-level parking lot that was previously a site of railroad, auto and other industries. SWA’s design includes a grade change that elevates the park, lifting it from the surrounding city streets and orienting visitors to a one-acre+ central lawn that accommodates a range of activities from concerts to soccer games. Other design features include a multigenerational play environment featuring custom swings, seesaws and other play equipment.
KIARA BAY, MALAYSIA LEAD8
WERK12, GERMANY MVRDV
MVRDV celebrated the completion and opening of WERK12, a 7,700 m2 mixed-used development
located close to Munich’s East Station. The design of WERK12 “combines a simple form with honest materials,” said the architects, with a “bold art facade” featuring five metre high verbal expressions found in German comics. The five floors of the building are occupied by restaurants and bars on the ground floor, the offices of Audi Business Innovations on the top floor, and a three-storey gym in between that includes one storey dedicated to a swimming pool. WERK12’s floor-to-ceiling glass walls, combined with its location near to the train station, provide the upper levels with views towards central Munich, punctuated by the lettering on the building’s terraces.
Lead8 has celebrated the launch of Kiara Bay, a 73-acre masterplan development located next to the Kepong Metropolitan Park in Kuala Lumpur. The project “is poised as one of the city’s earliest townships into an inspiring eco-living destination,” said the architects, and offers a “first-of-its-kind living experience in Malaysia’s capital.” Kiara Bay seeks to “emulate the balance of city, nature and leisure” and is comprised of three main districts – ‘The Waters,’ ‘The Walk’ and ‘The Village.’ Embracing the 140-acre lake at the heart of the site, ‘The Waters’ is defined by the landmark towers which provide the visual reference points for the development and views of the landscape.
