Futuristic Cultural Complex In Changsha, China |
|
Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) have unveiled an ambitious cultural
complex, which began to take shape in October after the project broke ground in
the heart of Changsha, China. In true Hadid-fashion, the Changsha Meixihu
International Culture & Arts Center defines itself by extreme sinuous curves
that radiate from each of the three independent structures and links them to a
pedestrianized landscape that offers a “strong urban experience”, forming what
they hope to be a global destination for theater and art.

The Agora Tower In Taipei, Taiwan |
|
On the last and biggest parcel of land available for residential use in taipei city, vincent callebaut 's twisting, foliage-filled 'agora tower' will preside over the rest of the urban xinyin district. the architect, known for his distinct eco-vision, has designed a high-density space that aims at limiting the ecologic footprint of its inhabitants by forging a symbiotic relationship between the urban dweller and nature. tall planted balconies of suspended orchards, organic vegetable gardens and and medicinal greenery will take root in the high-performance building. in true cradle-to-cradle fashion, even the construction process transforms itself; industrial waste will be returned as a 'technical nutrient' to be indefinitely recycled. the helicoidal towers appropriate their form from the structure of DNA, conceptually speaking to the building blocks of life, as well as dynamism and twinning. four types of housing units form a full level allowing their twisting forms to optimize space for open-air hanging gardens. the angled apartments additionally offer exceptional views of the bustling city by multiplying the transversal views of the overall east-west rhomboidal pyramid. corbelled floors provide structure and privacy.
