… non hai osservato, camminando nella città, come tra gli edifici che la popolano taluni siano muti, ed altri parlino, mentre altri ancora, che son più rari, cantano?

Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, Poland
September 2, 2010

Museum of the Second World War Gdansk PolandThe winner of the architectural competition for the building of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, Poland, is the Studio "Kwadrat", Gdynia, Poland.
The purpose of the competition is to select the architectural concept of the building to house the Museum of the Second World War, together with the concept of landscape development. 240 firms from 33 countries of the world participated in the contest.
The verdict of the Jury, in which Daniel Libeskind was one of the members, says: "In its Design, the innovative, huge-scale project makes use of the unique air of the city and transforms it in a modern manner. The colour and texture proposed in the design smoothly blend with the colours of Gdańsk giving the museum the power to pass the test of the 21st century."
The construction works on the Museum will commence in 2012. A ceremonious opening of the new building is planned for 1 September 2014 –  on the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.

Banco Ciudad de Buenos Aires by Foster + Partners
September 1, 2010

Foster + Partners Banco Ciudad de Buenos AiresFoster + Partners, working with construction firm, CRIBA S.A. and local architect, BBRCH-Minond, has won the competition to design a new corporate headquarters for the Banco Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Plans for the energy-efficient building, which will occupy an entire city block in the neighbourhood of Parque Patricios, echo its park-side setting with landscaped courtyards and shaded walkways and will provide a distinctive new presence for the bank in the city.
The scheme occupies the whole site to create an internal campus of ‘villages’, which are connected by circulation routes and external landscaped patios and are unified by a flowing roof canopy. The entrance plaza is sheltered by the deep overhang of the roof, which is supported by slender pillars. A full-height atrium directs circulation into four tiers of terraced office spaces, all of which have direct views of the park. Based on an eight-metre-square planning grid, the generous light-filled floor plates allow the work spaces to be flexibly planned.

C.F. Møller: new Ferry Terminal in Stockholm
August 31, 2010

C.F. Moller Ferry Terminal StckholmC.F. Møller Architects has just won the competition for a new Stockholms Hamnar ferry terminal.
The new terminal for Stockholm’s permanent ferry connections to Finland and the Baltics will be a landmark for the new urban development Norra Djursgårdsstaden - both architecturally and environmentally. The terminal, which will have a facade covered with expanded mesh, recalls the shape of a moving vessel and the architecture - with large cranes and warehouses - that previously characterized the ports. At the same time, the terminal has an ambitious sustainable profile, characteristic of the entire development.
