This new headquarters in Brescia will be a poli functional building. The architect Massimo Roj claims that this building will be an example of sustainability and integration between the environment and architecture. The new building is designed for new ways of working and to increase involvement, efficiency, comfort says Giovanni Valotti, president of Progetto CMR. Buildings like this one are without a doubt the way future buildings will look as we move to a safer and healthier life for all.

This beautiful twin style building was first designed in 2008 by Sotiris Anyfantis who partnered with Yiannis Anyfantis to complete the architecture for this building. The team built these buildings with the intention that they are rented only. Most buildings like this will be close to the city or on the coast. These new modern buildings are intended for vacationing or just a high class, modern stay with scenic views and nice restaurants in the area.

This building is Muzentoren located in The Hague, Netherlands. The architect is also Rob Krier. We can see that this is a modern building, gray occupies most of the exterior of the building, and the extensive use of glass makes the building look a little more industrial. Moreover, Rob Krier is a painter and sculptor as an architect. Therefore, from the various stages of the building, from the windows to the chimney, all the details are carefully designed by him and painted by himself. Practicability and environmental protection are also guaranteed.

• 1. MIT Chapel
• The MIT chapel was designed by architect Eero Saarinen in 1955, when looking from the outside, the chapel has no windows and shape like a cylinder. The chapel is supported by arches, the surface of the chapel was created by rock to make it rough around the edge. Unlike the simple design for the exterior, visitors are amazed by the interior of the chapel, it makes them feel like they are in a different environment with the natural light shine into the chapel by a cylindrical glass on top of the building.

• 2. The Gateway Arch
• The Gateway Arch was the tallest memorial structure in the U.S. in 1965, with 630 feet tall. It was made from stainless steel and shaped like a catenary curve, represents free hanging with its own weight. Due to the Arch has no structural skeleton, it relies on its own frame of stainless steel for support. It is made up of a series of double walled triangular sections stacked on top of one another, gradually decreasing in size as they rise. Along with stainless steel frame, the Arch is also made from carbon steel plates, these made up the interior wall with a three foot space between the inner and outer wall, and narrow to less than eight inches on the smallest section. Between the carbon and stainless steel is concrete to further support the structure of the Arch. With weight of nearly nine hundred tons, the Arch is one of the heaviest memorial structure in the U.S. thanks to the stainless-steel plates that cover the exterior wall. There is a tram system that take visitors up to the observation deck. From the small windows at the top of the Arch, visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of Missouri and Illinois depending on the side of the deck they are in.

• 3. Warren Technical Center
• The technical center buildings are placed around the twenty-two-acre lake. The buildings are long and low, with metal and glass structure filled with curtain wall to contain secret developments from the outsider. The windows are insulated and leak-proof. Far away is a water tower that is 138 feet tall, made with stainless steel. The round aluminum dome of the Design Auditorium is at the lake’s southwest corner. The complex is placed on a ground of grass through which a roadway circumnavigates the campus and is surrounded by thousands of trees. The lobby of the Center has a spiral staircase filled with treads of green granite.

4. TWA Hotel/ Normally, nobody cares about airport hotels, but the TWA hotel is different from all other hotel. Its architectural design fascinates a lot of people with its seven-story tall. It has 512 rooms, with an infinity pool at the rooftop, and a 10,000 square foot observation deck that look over to the incoming flights. The wing of the hotel is curved with beak-shape makes it stand out from afar. Interiors details include a red-colored lounge with seating built into the floor. The sunken lounge was restored during the renovation and accompanied by carpet in a Chili Pepper Red hue – the signature color created for the project by the architect. Other portions of flooring are covered in thousands of penny-round tiles. The hotel’s 512 rooms are housed in two new curved buildings placed behind Saarinen’s structure. These have one of the thickest curtain-wall constructions in the world, featuring seven panes in order to block runway noise.

The elegance of this piece of work speaks by itself due to the sheer spectacle of its look. The flexible floor plates showcase a great deal of support for the KPIs from the rest of the building. It lies in the heart of London, UK. These conjoint structures range anywhere from 5 to 8 stories tall as well as include the Grade II-listed Empire Cinema. On the ground floor is room to host wellbeing, cultural and leisure-based amenities. The dimensions of this breathtaking building is 3,680m^2/39,600ft^2.

The Jalisco mountain range, located in Mexico, hosts millions of people every year. Many come to complete a religious pilgrimage through the mountain range. The government, seeking to make the pilgrimage easier, the route more permanent, and the area more accessible so the people surrounding towns on the route can earn income, hired several different architecture firms to each create unique landmarks along the pilgrimage route. Alejandro Aravena’s firm, Elemental, designed Las Cruces Lookout Point. The lookout point needed to look at the crosses on the route and the valley below, so Alejandro Aravena developed a structure with two fronts. The lookout point is at the highest point of the trail and allows visitors a chance to rest with an amazing view of the valley below.

In 2008, Alejandro Aravena finished the student residence complex, pictured above, at St Edward’s University. This was Alejandro Aravena’s first work outside of Chile. It is located in Austin, Texas, and looks very different from the outside, pictured below.

The university wanted the buildings to blend in with previous architecture, and the surrounding city, but it was also a chance for Alejandro Aravena to make the buildings feel both private and open. From the outside, it looks almost like a rock, with dull, hard coloring and form. However, the two buildings converge on a courtyard, along which the windows have a red tint that brings color, intricacy, and a sense of community into the mix. The actions of those inside the buildings can be seen through the windows and make the place seem more active. Inside, there are multiple lounges and areas for students to gather.

This structure is called the Writer’s Cabin. It was built in 2015 by Alejandro Aravena for the Jan Michalski Foundation and is located in Montricher, Switzerland. This building is a condensed common area for the writers at this location and is an addition to the building that was already there. The room is on top of a concrete slab and it incorporates the preexisting canopy into the structure. Steal attaches the building to the canopy, allowing the building to be suspended. The cabin features glass walls to make it seem less condensed and more open. The wooden bookshelves along the walls attempt to give it more character and also support the framework. Inside the structure are an island, dining room, and sitting area for the writers to congregate and eat.

Brooklyn’s 325 Kent is the first building to be completed as part of SHoP’s Domino Sugar master plan. 325 Kent comprises 500 residential rentals. The residential floors step up in terraces from the east, forming a connection between the existing neighborhood, the taller Domino buildings that will be constructed along the shore, and the towers of Manhattan visible across the East River.

Contributing to the dramatic industrial character of the area, two specific formulations of sheet metals were chosen for the exterior—copper for the lower floors, zinc above. Each is perforated in a variety of patterns to create a rhythm of light and dark, open and closed, that enlivens the building’s surfaces and conceals 325 Kent’s mechanicals from view.

Sited at a point where historic low-rise Brooklyn neighborhoods merge with the taller buildings of its booming downtown, Barclays Center was shaped by a responsibility to achieve balance.

The building’s sculptural façade is wrapped in alternating bands of weathered steel and glass. The scaled intricacy of the curving metal latticework creates a rich and dynamically textured surface, while the glass bands introduce a sense of lightness, opening the building to the surrounding city. The arena’s iconic exterior is built from 12,000 uniquely-shaped panels in weathered steel that recall the color and scale of adjacent brownstone blocks. With room for 18,000 guests to take in an anticipated 200 events per year, the building had to be efficient and durable, and it made the grade with a rugged weathered steel cladding and sustainability features that earned it a LEED Silver rating.
