FENDI FACTORY, ITALY PIUARCH
Piuarch has collaborated with fashion brand Fendi and landscape architect Antonio Perazzito to design a factory that “disappears into the landscape.” A complex of approximately 14,000 m2 rising in the Tuscan countryside, the design seeks to combine the “excellence of Fendi’s products, with the creation of an architectural landmark having significant aesthetic and environmental value,” said the architects. The building stretches horizontally over a single level to create a “free form driven by the needs of the production process.” The practicality of the spaces takes into consideration the business’s different functions, merging them into “fluid pathways” with transparent walls, “uniting the different uses while encouraging people to move around and communicate.” A vast roof garden not only has an environmental impact, but also a social and community role, becoming a “user-friendly space” and a venue for employees to socialise. In addition to management and administrative offices, the building houses a restaurant, a production warehouse, workshops and education facility.
SCIENCE CENTRE, SINGAPORE ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS & ARCHITECTS 61
Singapore’s Science Centre Board has unveiled the design of the new Science Centre which will provide “unique facilities and programmes as a destination for Singaporeans to access science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and experiences.” Informed by the natural landscape of Singapore’s Jurong Lake Gardens, the new Science Centre designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) in collaboration with Architects 61, gives visitors the opportunity to interact with the surrounding gardens and lake. Large windows serve as “monocles” offering views of the lake, with the centre appearing to float above the surrounding parkland. The design comprises five interlocking rectangular volumes housing a variety of exhibition galleries, interactive labs and event spaces in addition to ancillary facilities for visitors, administrative offices, archives and service areas. The new centre will feature a children’s gallery – including an interactive outdoor waterplay area and “discovery trails,” plus specialised labs and workshops that encourage hands-on learning, and an observatory. A new outdoor activity plaza will be a focal point of the centre and offer STEM programmes and community activities. In line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the new Science Centre incorporates sustainable design principles and energy performance strategies to reduce emissions. Working with Atelier Ten, ZHA and Architects 61 have designed the centre to attain the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. Located next to Chinese Garden MRT station, the new Science Centre is targeted to open in 2027, which also marks the 50th anniversary of the institution.

MADRID-CHAMARTÍN CLARA CAMPOAMOR STATION MASTERPLAN, SPAIN UNSTUDIO
© Adif AV
Spanish government infrastructure body Adif AV has confirmed the proposal by UNStudio, b720 Arquitectura and Esteyco as the winner of an international competition to “transform” the Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor railway hub. A key element that the team deemed essential in the proposed design was to “retain and respect the historical vaulted roofs of Chamartín station,” said Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect at UNStudio. Stepped terraces and the addition of balconies with open views integrate the complex into its surroundings. Flanked by new towers and fronted by a public square, the proposed complex will be a “fully integrated hub” providing easy access to other modes of transport, such as walking, taxi, metro, bicycles and scooters. The Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor masterplan, said UNStudio “builds on our 30 years of experience and accumulated expertise in station design.”
