Mosaic secures planning for Glasgow mixed use refurb
Mosaic Architecture and Design has secured planning permission and listed building consent for the project to redevelop 50 Bothwell Street in Glasgow city centre. The development will provide refurbished office accommodation with a ‘subdivision’ of ground floor retail, and a new cafe and business hub at street level. Along with creating a light-filled
atrium, the proposals include plans for a redevelopment of the fifth and sixth floors within the roof to create “impressive office floor plates, flooded with natural light and landscaped roof terraces for outside enjoyment and appreciation of the local skyline.” said the architects. The development will provide
modern and energy efficient office accommodation in a complete refurbishment that is “both contemporary and respectful of a listed building with this character.” The architectural design is a result
of a collaboration between Mosaic Architecture and Design and the international design studio 10 Design. The project team also includes Ryden,Woolgar Hunter, Hollis and Atelier 10. The building is intended to be ready for occupation towards the end of 2022.

BIG’s ski slope-topped Copenhagen power plant wins international title
CopenHill – also known as the Amager Resource Centre – in Copenhagen, has been declared theWorld Building of the Year 2021 at the 14th annualWorld Architecture Festival (WAF). The scheme designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) was selected from the awards’ Production, Energy and Recycling category. Sitting in an industrial zone, CopenHill is a mixed-use 41,000 m2
waste-to-energy
plant. The project combines “community and leisure with sustainable ambitions, aligning with Copenhagen’s goal of becoming the world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025.”The building includes a rooftop bar, crossfit area, climbing wall and viewing plateau, as well as a 490 metre tree-lined hiking and running trail and ski slope, within a mountainous terrain designed by Danish landscape architects SLA. On behalf of the judges, Paul Finch, programme director atWAF, praised the way the building “addresses the role of architecture in the new world of recycling and zero carbon, and reminds us that buildings can be fun!” The internal size of the power plant
was determined by the precise organisation and distribution of machinery in height

order, creating a sloping roof suitable for a 9,000 m2
ski terrain. On the longest
vertical facade is what’s believed to be the world’s tallest artificial climbing wall at 85 metres. The building’s waste incineration facilities are said to integrate the latest technologies in waste treatment and energy production. The 10,000 m2
green roof has been
designed to “address the challenging micro- climate of an 85 metre high park, rewilding a biodiverse landscape,” while absorbing heat, removing air particulates and minimising stormwater runoff. Beneath the slopes, furnaces, steam, and turbines convert 440,000 tonnes of waste annually into enough clean energy to deliver electricity and district heating for 150,000 homes. The awards were supported by Grohe,
and had a jury from across global architecture. The panel consisted of Paul Finch, Nuno Gonçalves Fontarra, associate partner at Mecanoo, Kim Herforth Nielsen, founder and creative director of 3XN Architects, Christina Seilern, principal of Studio Seilern Architects, and Abdelkader Damani, director of Frac Centre-Val de Loire and artistic director of Biennale d’Architecture d’Orléans.
