Yongsan International Business district by REX, in Seoul, Korea. About to be started, the project is a fresh concept for urban living. Solves the the problem of density and small area by pulling some floors to different directions. This, along with the empty space in the middle of the building really creates desirable living conditions, even in a dense city like Seoul. Projects like this make you realize the new millennium has really started.

Cocoon House by Planning Korea in Jeju, South Korea. This plan by the architectural organization, Planning Korea gives us an exciting hint of what our lives and living conditions might look like tomorrow. With the completion date set to 2015 we can only patiently wait to see what the cutting edge house of the near-future holds for us. Those lines, those forms, those structures. Delicious.

Mirror Mongayt by BERNASKONI in Moscow, Russia. Uniqueness along with the full respect of nature. I like the contrast between the rough interior and the simple, clean exterior.

Sarpi border checkpoint by J. Mayer H. , in Sarpi, Georgia. Wow never thought I would be publishing about contemporary architecture in Georgia, and here it is, 2 posts in a day. This border checkpoint between Georgia and Turkey seems like it gives a lot more than what it was intended for (but probably that was the trick). Not only does the structure mark the new country, and advertises it to travelers, but also serves as a silent icon, kind of like a guard over the bay. The crazy shape is really cool, and the observatory, is the cherry on top. (as I later found out, it is no coincidence that I found many cool contemporary buildings in the Caucasus country, it turns out german architect J. Mayer H. is working on several landmarks and structures throughout the nation - architecture is a clever way to get recognition for a small country)
