<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Dear Colleagues and Readers,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I greatly appreciate your time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">However, with every post on <a href="http://archreview.blogspot.my/" target="_blank">http://archreview.blogspot.my/</a> I became more convinced that a single blog is not the way I want to do that. While some other architecture sites can pull it off in spades, I do not think this site will be able to meet its potential without partners. I see a ton of potential in the multi-collaborator model. There is greater opportunity for peer review, each contributor has unique strengths and interests, and shared decision making leads to a better overall product.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">To this end, I am proud to announce that we are now expanding our editorial board. I would like to welcome new authors and editors warmly to contribute to our architecture news portal. No particular experience is necessary, but solid writing skills and enthusiasm for architecture and urbanism are a must. Involvement in some aspect of social networking would be an asset, but we are happy to work with you to build your online presence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The writing style is not purely academic. We want to make our posts entertaining and enjoyable to read. We encourage you to embedded pictures and references for your articles. In particular, we are looking for writers to contribute to the following sections:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">1) Architecture</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">2) Urban Design and Planning</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">3) Interior Design</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">4) Design Technology</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">5) Training Programs and Workshops</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">While we are welcoming new writers, we want to ensure our content remains high quality and trustworthy. As such, we will continue to maintain a robust editorial and internal peer review process. Potential contributors should expect that your work will be reviewed by our team and returned for revisions before publication.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">There are no absolute prerequisites, and I would encourage anyone that would be willing to write for Archreview to contact us! Hopefully, there are lots of great writers out there that are interested in contributing to our architecture news portal “Archreview”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/prishtina_mosque_aptum-01.jpg" rel="slb[slb_24373]" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><img alt="APTUM, Prishtina Central Mosque, MI’RAJ, Prishtina, Kosovo, mosque design, international competition, architectural competition, progressive mosque design, Islamic architecture" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24375" height="404" src="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/prishtina_mosque_aptum-01.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="600" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The jury for the<strong> <a href="http://cmprcompetition.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">international competition</a> </strong>for Prishtina Central Mosque failed to agree on a clear first prize winner; however it seems that some of the un-awarded entries caught the attention as well. MI’RAJ is the proposal of <strong><a href="http://www.aptumarchitecture.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">APTUM</a></strong>, Swiss / American architectural <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/the-dhavari-skyscraper-complex-to-bring-sustainable-practice-to-the-forefront-in-mumbai/" style="text-decoration: none;">practice</a></strong>, named by one of two parts of the night ascension journey that the Islamic prophet Muhammad took one night. The proposal materializes the journey of ascension to prayer and the spatial experience that follows. Islamic community of Prishtina was searching for a unifying symbol and identity that can bring together many disparate mosques of Kosovo capital, APTUM’s design harnesses that need and brings together a sense of place and provides public space for the greater good of the community.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Stairs are wrapping the south side of the building and the journey begins. At the end of the slow stairs, the round plaza opens, providing the great space for sitting, relaxing of proceeding to the very entry of the mosque. The plaza is suitable for gathering, contemplating or simply enjoying the weather.<span id="more-24373"></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The prayer hall is approached through a series of fan-like arches. As one enters the hall, he finds a multi-level space with light shining from far above his head – a shimmering <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/reinvestigating-the-future-of-housing-peoples-meeting-dome-in-bornholm-denmark/" style="text-decoration: none;">dome</a></strong> is hovering high in the space.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Due to the grandeur of the space of the prayer hall, the one can be suspended as a part of a larger divine whole. After the prayer is finished, people proceed back through the ablution space, down the stairs or ramp, reemerging back to the community plaza, where they can choose how to continue the soul journey with their family and friends.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The Mosque, proposed by APTUM, shows contemporary and innovative <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/zahner-factory-expansion-an-investigation-on-patterns-on-metal-crawford-architects/" style="text-decoration: none;">investigation</a></strong> in direction of finding new modalities for designing Islamic spatial experience, which follows the physical and spiritual journey.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The low-cost housing project is situated in a flood-stricken region that receives extreme temperatures<br />year-round. meeting the basic residential needs of a residential dwelling, the building will be assembled using minimal components and bamboo<br />module units. secured using anchors, ties and solid connections, the structure will be strong enough to float in floods. built with local materials<br />such as bamboo, leaves and recycled oil containers, the concept combines traditional architectural characteristics to distinguish the exterior fabric.<br />costing just under 2000USD per unit, the plan allows for mass-production, and the ability for villagers to build themselves.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><strong>With the smart tag line “Discover the Full Story,” the Schusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow recently released a seriously slick advertising campaign.</strong> Created by <a href="http://www.saatchi.ru/" style="text-decoration: none;">Saatchi & Saatchi Russia</a>, it sees historic Russian buildings extending far into the ground as if the part we’re familiar with was only the peak of a much larger building. It’s as if archeologists had one day explored deep into the basement and discovered they were really in the attic.<span id="more-81560"></span></span></div>
<div class="see-also" style="font-family: Conv_ProximaNova-Reg, Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase !important;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The press and OOH campaign features Moscow’s iconic Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Moscow State University building and Bolshoi Theatre, each extending into deep pits in the ground. Their imaginary lower structures become even more ornate and fantastic than the real building above, thus conveying that the hidden history behind each landmark is far more than what meets the eye.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Conv_ProximaNova-Reg, Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The creators of the fascinating and beautiful final images have generously shared their initial sketches and working imagery for us to admire and study… and these hold many details behind how the project was conceived and brought about. It’s great to see changes in scale, and layout being made along the way, each leading to a more perfect final image.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<a href="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nurnberg-info-center-1.jpeg" rel="slb[slb_22869]" style="background-color: black; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: white;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-22870" height="800" src="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nurnberg-info-center-1-600x800.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" title="nurnberg-info-center-1" width="600" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The new information centre and <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/ambient-exchange-helsinki-library/" style="text-decoration: none;">library</a></strong> aims to be the central representative identification point in the overall context of the Georg-Simon-Ohm-Hochschule. Both, a high degree of aesthetics as well as the functionality of the building play a major role while reflecting the spirit of this supra-regional institution. The centre‘s programme covers a library including an open reading area, individual working spaces and several seminar and meeting facilities.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The design stipulates a clear structuring for all the functions with regard to both the outdoor areas and the new building itself. Instead of being a big obstacle, the centre acts as a connector between the campus in the north and the waterfront of the Pegnitz in the south. During the day the linking route between these two poles runs straight through the foyer which thereby becomes the central meeting place for students and teachers. The indented entrance areas are clearly readable from the sculpture and thus stimulate a self-evident orientation.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">A big glazed void forms the core element of the cube providing daylight for all the internal functions while subdividing them into easy controllable sections. This atrium also establishes a visual but soundproof contact in between all programme parts and makes it thereby easy for the visitors to orientate themselves. Due to its location conterminous to the void, also the compact-magazine on the top-floor in its capacity as an inaccessible knowledge storage becomes a visible part of the building and reflects in a subtle manner the basic functionality of an information centre.<span id="more-22869"></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The backbone of the build is formed by two independent adjoining cores on the west side. One connects all the public functions and links them to big atrium while the other one provides access to all the internal service functions. This layout also enables the connection to a potential annexe on that side at a later stage without compromising the internal local public infrastructure. Another stairwell in the north-east corner provides shortcuts between the different reading and working levels.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The sculpture consists of two different components. The plinth forms the first element. The volume touches at some places the circumscribing square while huge indents are carved out at the corners. These openings form the linking elements to the surrounding plaza and the campus. Resting on that plinth a self-supporting cube forms the second element. Its structural facade provides on the one hand a column free outdoor area beneath the three big cantilevers and on the other hand an outstanding and iconic appearance.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Following the long tradition of exquisite Indian Architecture, architects from <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/oasis-tower-in-dubai/" style="text-decoration: none;">Dubai</a></strong> based <strong><a href="http://www.atkinsglobal.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">WS Atkins</a></strong>aimed to design a building that would stand as a landmark structure for <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/parametric-designed-transformative-facade-for-mumbai-school-sanjay-puri/" style="text-decoration: none;">Mumbai</a></strong> – Namaste Tower represents burgeoning economic and cultural significance of great India. This 62-story, 300m high, newest addition to W Hotel franchise, currently under construction, will include a hotel, office and retail space. The very form of the building is inspired by traditional Indian greeting of “Namaste”, where the hands are clasped together. Reflecting ancient Indian expression, position of two hotel wings represents ultimate symbol of hospitality, welcoming its guests.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ultra high, the tower will be seen from great distance, therefore the visual appearance of the project is of great importance to the city of Mumbai. The orientation and massing of this skyscraper were designed to benefit from visual relations with the Indian Ocean, Mumbai Peninsula and to adjacent towers, currently constructed.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Guided by the imperative to design the circulation areas of the hotel as impressive as the rooms itself, architects created internal gardens, bringing the greenery into the corridors and atrium spaces. On corridor ends an open spaces offer dramatic and framed view over the city.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">As the tower has been designed to offer gala wedding space for Indian Mehndi ceremony, traditional Indian patterns appear as a theme on the building <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/dragon-skin-pavilion-is-a-digitally-fabricated-plywood-sculpture/" style="text-decoration: none;">skin</a></strong>. The tower will be clad in fritted glazing, creating sense of <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/the-cloud-house-a-study-on-transparency-axis-mundi/" style="text-decoration: none;">transparency</a> </strong>and depth to the building, while maintaining required thermal qualities. Regarding the energy efficiency, large scale canopies support solar thermal collectors, with the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water in the hotel.<span id="more-23083"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">From Laura Ellen Bacon</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; margin: 1em; padding: 0px 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">All of my work has been generated because of a personal (and solitary) drive to build, to create and often to be able to climb inside; the thrill of the quiet space that did not exist before my hands placed the material in the available position.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Some of my work celebrates these ‘spaces’ openly, such as in my exhibition, ‘In the Thick of it: A Woven Space’ and some spaces are known only to me, such as the huge spatial interior of ‘Forms of Growth’ at Chatsworth, where I wove much of the form from the inside out – and eventually sealed the entry.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I would regard my work as abstract, in the sense that it does not represent something in a figurative sense and my ambition for my work is to generate a kind of intrigue and an appeal that touches a powerful (and perhaps ancient) nerve that we cannot precisely locate.</span></blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_67973" style="width: 640px;">
<img src="http://www.contemporist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/le_190313_12-630x420.jpg" /><div class="wp-caption-text" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Being interested in the way in which nests (both insect, animal and bird) often use existing structures for support, I began making my early works at the turn of the millennium upon dry stone walls and evolved to work within trees, riverbanks and hedges, allowing the chosen structure (be it organic or man-made) to become host. My work responds firstly to the structural or spatial features of a particular site, in much same way as the questing foot of a weaver-bird might regard the flex of a bough or a colony of wasps might collaborate within the rafters.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Secondly, I respond to the feeling of the site and the opportunity to give the work (and in some way, the host structure) a sense of movement, of slow growth, as if the work will continue to grow when the viewer’s back is turned, chancing if I can to encourage the viewer to consider the internal form and perhaps by way of that, the construction; the possibilities and language of materials.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I am still powerfully driven to create ‘spaces’ of some kind and over a decade into my work, my passions have also returned to not only merging with the simplicity of dry stone walls, but towards powerful connections with architecture.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Designed by students at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia <strong><a href="http://www.iaac.net/" style="text-decoration: none;">IAAC</a></strong>, the Endessa Pavilion is part of the Smart City Expo in Barcelona, Spain. The aim of the project is exploring the possiblities of<strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/pinup-2012-student-competition-winners/" style="text-decoration: none;">distributed intelligence </a></strong>concept. The building is conceived as an <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/fibre-composite-adaptive-systems/" style="text-decoration: none;">adaptive system</a></strong> that responds to environmental influences. The skin is constructed as a network of intelligent nodes that position themselves according to solar radiation.<span id="more-20580"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The building is designed to be fabricated by <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/hybrid-diamantenborse-is-a-voronoi-installation-in-frankfurt/" style="text-decoration: none;">CNC machines</a></strong>. Built in a month, the building was assembled out of parts that were defined in digital format string and cut into very quickly, even if they were completely different from each other. Encounters between pieces have been resolved through software, and the pieces are cut into the system thinking that are in the building. With this precision, the pieces of wood come to work for meetings with the recesses and holes for receiving bolts. Perimeter facade modules are produced and assembled at the factory, so that on the work should only be fitted, further increasing the efficiency of construction.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The private Mecenat Art Museum, designed by <strong><a href="http://naf-aad.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">Naf Architect & Design</a></strong>, houses the work of a Japanese-style painter Kakudo Goami. The design of the building focuses on natural lighting which pours into the interior through a white cylinder structure.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Description from the architects:<br />The works of Mr. Goami give striking image of various lights, thus, I decided to design the building focusing on natural light. Soft diffused light from top light, direct light pouring from top light through white cylinder for condensation of light spreading on the first floor, soft light from slits on the walls reflecting on the exterior green, fragments of graphical lights pouring through 432 plate glasses on the<strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/georgian-airport-takes-flight-through-concrete/" style="text-decoration: none;">concrete walls</a></strong>; the space is filled with various kinds of lights. As an <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/elevated-broad-nature-inspired-exhibition-space-pdn-studio/" style="text-decoration: none;">exhibition space</a></strong>, there was no need for structure such as columns and beams but as large wall as possible. The important factor of the museum was to incorporate natural light and wind, so corners are sliced with slits to the extent which would not interfere the exhibit. This idea would have left the building structurally fragile, so we studied a rational shape, which was structurally stable like folding one sheet of paper, <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/la-fabrique-sonore-acoustically-amplifies-the-sound-of-champagne-bubbles/" style="text-decoration: none;">origami</a></strong>, many time to make several corners, with models and three-dimensional structure analysis by computer.<span id="more-20456"></span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Mecenat-Art-Museum-Naf-Architect-2.jpg" rel="slb[slb_20456]" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><img alt="Mecenat Art Museum Naf Architect, museum architecture, natural lighting, concrete architecture, japan, exhibition space" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20458" height="450" src="http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Mecenat-Art-Museum-Naf-Architect-2.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="600" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The site is found in a calm and peaceful rural scene, where it became completely dark at night with no streetlights. This building is automatically lit up when it becomes dark, softly casting light to the surrounding. It became a landmark of the area.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I focused on taking in as much factors from natural environment as possible in the exhibition space. Artificial lights in the exhibition space are limited to the minimum. The works are basically viewed with<strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/new-antwerp-law-court-stirk-harbour-partners/" style="text-decoration: none;">natural light </a></strong>which changes throughout the year, giving different impression by the weather of the day and time of the year. The exhibition space is intentionally designed to be susceptible to the natural environment.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Tahoma, Georgia, Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I would like the visitors to feel, with their entire bodies, through this building, atmosphere of profundity and gentleness created by the paintings of Mr. Kakudo Goami, which is based on noble spirit of Orient in the changes of four seasons unique in Japan.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">As an addition to the Volkswagen’s theme park in Wolfsburg, Germany, the Porsche Pavilion offers 400 m² of space for exhibitions and presentations. Designed by <strong><a href="http://www.henn.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">HENN Architects</a></strong>, the building is located right across the Volkswagen Pavilion. Its characteristic curves and bends dominate the site and express the importance of Porsche within the Volkswagen Group family. The area around the pavilion was designed by <strong><a href="http://www.wesup.de/intro.html" style="text-decoration: none;">WES & Partner Architekten</a></strong>.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The building envelope forms a spatial enclosure that creates an impression of a homogeneous unity. The interior and exterior are designed as a flowing continuum, with matte-finish stainless steel cladding. A total of 620 sheets of stainless <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/contemplay-pavilion-mcgill-school-of-architecture/" style="text-decoration: none;">steel cladding </a></strong>with welded ribs were prefabricated in a ship-yard in Stralsund and assembled on site. At the entrance the pavilion cantilevers 25m over the lagoon’s water surface in front. Below the cantilever of the large asymmetrical roof, a sheltered external space opens up.<span id="more-20402"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The interior is dominated by an elliptically curved ramp that leads visitors to the lower exhibition stage areas. These are designed by<strong><a href="http://www.hgmerz.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"> Hg Merz Architekten Museumgestalter</a></strong>. The Original Porsche built in 1948 is the starting point of the exhibition, featuring 25 silver-colored vehicle models manufactured at the scale of 1:3. A film about the company history, sound stories about selected Porsche models as well as tablet PCs with further information about the exhibited vehicles complete the experience.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The site for this project designed by <strong><a href="http://bluarchitecture.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">BLUA</a></strong> is located at the west side of Hangzhou new city, 2.6km to the CBD center. The facility has a total built area of 15,500 square meters. Above ground floor area is 46,700 square meters. The southwest corner is the entrance for the planned Metro Line and around the site are high-end residential districts. The north side is bounded by a primary school. Adjacent to Qian Jiang River, the site is a connector between the natural and urban life of the city, making it a perfect location for a sports complex. Our project is based on creating an <strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/up-tower-transformation-forming-plaza-through-residential-towers-we-designs/" style="text-decoration: none;">urban plaza</a></strong> while also creating an<strong><a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/rose-rock-international-finance-center-to-be-new-icon-in-northern-china-big/" style="text-decoration: none;">icon</a></strong> for the lack of large-scale commercial facilities and distribution of leisure spaces. With the convenient transportation, the sports center radiates across the whole city.<span id="more-20378"></span></span></div>
