UNICREDIT TOWER
4
Milan, Italy Developer: Hines Italia Srl Architect: Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (Cesar Pelli, Gregg Jones) This office complex is located within one of the largest mixed-use urban regeneration projects in Europe, Porta Nuova in Milan, where 290,000 m2 of brown fields are being transformed into a LEED GOLD certified development. The three buildings are on a podium 6 metres above street level. They surround a large circular plaza that connects the existing city centre with a new 160,000-m2 pedestrian area, including one of the largest urban parks in Milan. The main tower of the complex is 230 metres high, making it the tallest building in Italy.
CENTER FOR RENHOLD (CLEANING FACILITIES CENTRE)
5
Copenhagen K, Denmark Architect: KBP.EU – a joint venture between KARRES EN BRANDS and POLYFORM Developer: City of Copenhagen This project’s concept is to build downwards instead of upwards, making it possible to construct new office spaces in the heart of a dense medieval city. By transforming an old playground and underground parking garage at Hauser Square in Copenhagen, an entirely new type of construction has emerged. The site’s unconventional character blends the building with its surroundings, creating an attractive working environment for approximately 100 daily users.
KING’S CROSS
6
London, United Kingdom Architect: John Mcaslan + Partners Other: Arup (Engineering), Vinci (Construction) The transformation of King’s Cross was largely completed in March 2012, in time for the London Olympics. The Main Train Shed along with both the Eastern and Western Ranges were restored and refurbished, with a new 7,500-m2 Western Concourse as the centrepiece. Twenty metres high, it is one of Europe’s largest single-span railway structures, with 16 steel tree-form columns radiating from a tapered central funnel. The £547 million redevelopment improves passenger facilities, interchanges with St. Pancras Station, Eurostar and Thameslink, as well as the London Underground, buses and taxis. Demolition of the old concourse and construction of the Southern Square started last autumn, with completion scheduled for 2013.
SOUTHEND PIER
7
Southend-On-Sea, United Kingdom Architect: White arkitekter AB Developer: Southend-On-Sea Borough Council Southend Pier brings new life to Southend’s shoreline. At the pier head, the Cultural Centre has become the town’s main attraction for tourists and residents alike. The sweeping geometric form and complementary materials celebrate the site’s windswept topography, integrating it into the scenic landscape. The dynamic roof shaped building houses a large events space with floor-to-ceiling glazed windows. The southern façade forms a sheltered entrance and terrace from which to enjoy magnificent views over the water.
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF KOREAN CONTEMPORARY HISTORY
8
Seoul, South Korea Architect: Junglim Architecture Developer: Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism This project’s aim is to refurbish public buildings that have been used for around 60 years, showcasing symbols associated with the Republic of Korea and providing a place where people can meet and socialise. Tying these places together could aid jump-starting efforts to rehabilitate elements of the buildings.
ABSOLUTE TOWERS (PART OF ABSOLUTE WORLD COMPLEX)
9
Mississauga, Canada Design Architect: MAD architects Local Architect: Burka Architects Developer: Fernbrook Homes, Cityzen Development Group For more than a century, architects have puzzled over a simple dilemma: how can they maintain the efficiency of the established high-rise formula of building design while escaping the monotony of what essentially amounts to a series of identically stacked plates on display? By cleverly playing with the form and evoking empathy, the Absolute Towers’ profiles seem to change continuously when seen from afar. From a closer vantage point, the geometric puzzle remains intact, but a feature at another scale begins to dominate. Designed to maximise viewing potential inside and out, balconies wrap around every floor to give each resident a unique experience of the city and neighbourhood, creating a wonderful impetus for social interaction.
AKASYA ACIBADEM LAKE & WOODS PARCELS
10
Istanbul, Turkey Architect: Mimarlar Workshop Developer: SAF GYO Akasya Lake Parcel has been created through the revitalization of the waterway as a biological pond located at the center of the land plot. Making this newly created natural texture a part of the daily life in this parcel, both as a view and a means of recreation, is an element that shaped the design. The fact that the buildings are located in a manner that protects them from the blustering north-east wind has allowed the use of sliding windows even at the towers. The spatial values that were lost at Istanbul during urban transformations were attempted to be revived with the presence of the 10000 square meter area to be utilized as ―Woods‖ for the Akasya project. At Woods Parcel a 40 storey iconic building is designed to create space for the woods. Social facilities, including recreational areas and playgrounds can be accessed by foot without having to encounter any vehicle traffic.
ISBJERGET / THE ICEBERG
11
Aarhus, Denmark Developer/Investor/Builder: PensionDanmark A/S Architect: Cebra, JDS Architects, SeARCH, Louis Paillard Is it possible to live in an iceberg? Yes! There is one right in the heart of Denmark’s second- largest city, Aarhus. Featuring 208 flats ranging from 55 m2 to 227 m2, the Iceberg brings elegance to the waterfront, an area that was once an industrial harbour. Inspired by the eternally shifting shapes and facets of floating icebergs, the French, Danish and Dutch architects used oblique roofs to provide residents with spectacular views of the sea, harbour, forest and skyline. The jagged peaks and valleys featured in this unique building reflect visual angles, just like real icebergs.
THE LIBRARY BUILDING, CLAPHAM ONE
12
London, United Kingdom Developer: Cathedral Group Plc and United House Group (joint partnership) Lead Architect: Studio Egret West Delivery Architect: DLA Architecture This astonishing mixed-use development comprises 136 stunning apartments, a beautiful library and a one-stop shop health centre on Clapham High Street in South West London.

Designed by world-renowned architects Studio Egret West and delivered by Cathedral Group Plc and United House Group for the London Borough of Lambeth, the Library Building represents the best contemporary urban living London has to offer.
MARMARA PARK
13
Istanbul, Turkey Developer: ECE Projektmanagement G.m.b.H. & Co KG Architect: ECE Projektmanagement Open since October 2012, Marmara Park is located in Beylikdüzü-Esenyurt, one of Istanbul’s fastest-growing regions with a catchment area serving more than 4 million people.

MECENATPOLIS
14
Seoul, South Korea Design Architect: The Jerde Partnership Local Executive Architect/Towers Design: EAWES Developer: GS Engineering & Construction Located in the emerging Habjeong district of downtown Seoul next to the main metro, Mecenatpolis is a transit-oriented destination featuring three high-rise residential towers and one class-A office tower. It lies above a contemporary open-air retail village with nearly 90,000 m2 of leisure and dining areas, an events auditorium and public park. Inspired by the elegant form and curve of a natural canyon, Mecenatpolis captures a free-flowing rhythm with an active water feature that draws people into the heart of the complex.
SHIBUYA HIKARIE
15
Tokyo, Japan Architect: Nikken Sekkei Ltd., Tokyu Architects & Engineers Inc. Developer: Council for Promotion of the Shibuya New Cultural District Development Project Shibuya Hikarie comprises 18 storeys of offices (about 50,000 m2 GFA), a 2,000-seat theatre, a 1,000-seat exhibition hall and a retail block with 235 shops and restaurants wrapped around an ―urban core‖ that connects the subway, railway and street. By stacking all these different blocks on top of each other, a vertical city was created. The offices and theatre are located at a higher level with the aim of creating a ―shower effect‖ for retail outlets and restaurants below. Hikarie boasts numerous spaces where people can socialise, including a roof garden, passageway and plaza.
THE STAR
16
Singapore Architect: Aedas Limited (Andrew Bromberg) Developer: CapitaMalls Asia Limited & Rock Productions Private Limited The STAR (The STAR Vista & the STAR Performing Arts Center) celebrates the rich and diverse activities that take place inside. Its multifaceted, dynamic, ephemeral design blurs the boundaries between the public and private realms, and retail and cultural components. Transitions are soft and flowing, encouraging discovery and resulting in a highly public, energetic North elevation and a completely open South elevation where one can see the facility’s inner workings through a ―visible section‖. The theatre floating above is cut with glass and titanium, helping to dissolve its mass, and playing with the polarity of positive and negative readings.
BEIRUT TERRACES
17
Beirut Central District, Lebanon Developer/Investor: Benchmark Architect: Herzog & de Meuron Developed by Benchmark and designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, Beirut Terraces are a unique 110-m waterfront residential tower located in Beirut Central District (BCD), the most high-end residential area in Lebanon. Inspired by the city’s history, the Beirut Terraces represent the first vertical village concept with hanging gardens and extended terraces, set to revolutionise Beirut by reviving indoor and outdoor living experiences. The building concept, structure and appearance were conceived through awareness and respect for the city, and optimism for great things to come in contemporary Beirut.
CULTURE CASBAH
18
Malmö, Sweden Property owners: MKB Fastighets AB Architect: Lundgaard&Tranberg The Culture Casbah project aims to revitalise Rosengård, a neighbourhood on the outskirts of central Malmö, and integrate it as an essential part of the city. Its modern building and urban spaces will shake up the currently monolithic urban structure, and a new boardwalk forms the backbone of social activity. A vertical continuation of the boardwalk, folding upward like a narrow winding street, Rosengård Tower will act as a symbol of diversity, openness and vitality. Its stairs and small public squares that overlook Malmö will serve to unite the community in Rosengård’s Culture Casbah.
NANJING RIVER WEST CBD
19
Nanjing, China Architect: Jahn Developer: Suning Real Estate Development Co. Nanjing River West CBD is located just outside the city limits, near busy roads. The retail centre will act as an arena, hosting events and attracting visitors with its biomorphic shape, energy efficiency and dynamic lighting.

THE NATIONAL CREATIVE CLUSTER
24
Beijing, China Architect: Sasaki Associates, Inc. Developer: Hengtian Hi-Tech Investment and Development Co., Ltd. Beijing is modernizing rapidly with skyscrapers rising out of fallow fields, a new transportation system extending the city’s reach, and new environmental initiatives improving air and water quality. Against this background, a new urban district dedicated entirely to the cultivation of new ideas is emerging. Set to be built on the outskirts of the city, the National Creative Cluster will become China’s preeminent knowledge hub — both a centre for innovative home-grown talent and a destination for the world’s most creative thinkers. The success of the district lies in the fact that it will be a place where people can freely exchange new ideas.
BOSPHORUS CITY
25
Istanbul, Turkey Architect: Mimarlar Workshop Developer: Sinpas Gyo Located in Halkali, one of the urban transformation districts of Istanbul, the land plot extends in the northeast-southwest direction and provides momentum for Istanbul’s urban transformation with the rich recreational areas and 40 different types of residential buildings with a wide variety of spatial arrangements. The most important element of the masterplan is the recreational areas integrating ―water‖ and ―green spaces‖ and providing enriched outdoor areas. The water divides the space into two shores and creates a dynamic urban network with an inter-transit system. The green spaces are a high quality outdoor design providing possibilities for meetings and gatherings.
KAGITHANE OFISPARK
26
Istanbul, Turkey Developer: Tekfen Real Estate Development Co. Architect: EAA Emre Arolat Architects OfisPark is a primary example of the urban renewal process the KaUUthane region of Istanbul is undergoing. The architectural concept introduced by EAA Architects is influenced by the surrounding building patterns. This stands in stark contrast with the dehumanizing approach that often characterizes office buildings. The complex as a whole provides a high standard of design that will redefine ―office life‖ in Istanbul. This A+ office complex was conceived with the aim of establishing an independent social community. Instead of a single skyscraper, the complex consists of nine different buildings (all shorter than eight stories high) placed around a courtyard. These buildings are grouped in fours, connected via glass bridges on each level to enable flexible solutions for tenants requiring different sizes. The courtyard, with its cafes, restaurants and shops is designed to revive social life. Having earned a LEED Gold rating in Core & Shell, the project is slated to achieve up to 24% energy savings and 30% reductions in water usage compared to the Baseline Building.
TEKFEN BOMONTI APARTMENTS
27
Istanbul, Turkey Developer: Tekfen Real Estate Development Co. Architect: DB Architects Bomonti region is one of Istanbul’s first planned residential areas. Bomonti Apartments’ architectural design and philosophy were meant to keep the entire structure in harmony with the existing texture while at the same time exploring new features. The building blocks, courtyards, streets and open spaces, which have developed over the past years, fit perfectly into the entire project. The project is also a revival of Bauhaus style principles characterized by balanced proportions, forms that follow function, and an emphasis on daylight. Compared to similar recent projects undertaken in the city of Istanbul, the project possesses a set of distinguishing features that gives it a unique sense of identity. It is also the first residential project in Turkey to have earned LEEDcertification.
