HALFTIME, GERMANY COBE
Danish architecture firm COBE have designed a new multi-purpose building for sports brand Adidas for their corporate headquarters in Germany. The new building, named Halftime, totals 15,500 m2
. As well
as a canteen for all HQ employees, the building contains meeting rooms, a conference centre and a showroom, where the company’s brand ambassadors can stop by to see the latest new designs, collections and ideas. The project features a 8,650-square-metre rhomboid roof structure consisting of V- shaped concrete beams and covered in glass. In fact, a third of the roof consists of skylights, which allows daylight to enter the building throughout. The concrete beams, each 16 metres long and weighing 28 tonnes, add up to a total length of 3.2 kilometres.
BAO’AN BAY TOWER, CHINA JAEGER KAHLEN PARTNER
HIGHLINE PLAZA, NEW YORK SWA/BALSLEY
SWA/Balsley are designing Highline Plaza at Schuylkill Yards, a mixed-use redevelopment adjacent to Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. The architects said the design for the new public plaza will transform an underutilised surface parking lot into “a vibrant landscape of connection.” Part of a master plan to create a new mixed-used district, the half-acre plaza will be programmed with a variety of elements including outdoor dining, pop-up retail, performances, and other public gatherings. The design is inspired by the site’s rail legacy and industrial heritage, with a “dynamic ground plane” mimicking the geometries of a railyard and interpretive art installations. Highline Plaza is part of Schuylkill Yards’ first phase, which is scheduled to begin construction in 2020.
Jaeger Kahlen Partner is one of the joint winners at the international competition for Bao’An Bay Industrial Investment Tower in Shenzhen, China. The office building is a set of “shifting volumes” that break the tower into a series of terraced stacked blocks. The tower is located in a developing neighbourhood that allows access to Shenzhen Bao’An International Airport and the cities along the Pearl River Delta. The floors of each building volume are connected by spiral staircases, forming “vertically cohesive work environments.” On this project, Jaeger Kahlen Partner worked with Transsolar KlimaEngineering to develop and incorporate several practical and efficient sustainability techniques into the design.
