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.
Miracle Residence by BFTA Mimarlik in Istambul, Turkey.
The colors, shapes and the entire structure shows how playful architecture can really be. This is a good example, because the building doesn’t have a crazy shape, outstanding details or a very high budget, but it can still be a nice addition to a city, and a good location for modern apartments.
Wanna play tetris?
Architecture can save lives by Olaf Ɓyczba from Budapest, Hungary.
Office for the Hungarian MKB Bank by Imre Bálint DLA, in Budapest, Hungary.
Oversized details and beautiful curves. Kind of like the flatiron building of the 21st century.
I had the luck to see this personally, the picture was taken by me too, and let me tell you, when you see it for the first time it’s like a spaceship docked in the middle of the city. Quite futuristic.
