Designed by Denton Corker Marshall in collaboration with artist Robert Owen, the Webb Bridge in Melbourne comprises two distinct sections: the existing structure (145m long) and the new curved, ramped connecting link (80m long) employed to take up level changes, creating a point of arrival at the south bank.
The new Webb Bridge allows users to appreciate the surrounding views and activities along the river and can be used as a destination in its own right, as well as a meeting point, or simply, a place of leisurely contemplation. As an object, it appears as a delineated structure, a sensuous volume, light and linear. Space is seen as atmospheric, dynamic and transitional.

Hotel Natura Extension is designed by ENOTA as a part of the touristic resort in Rogla, Slovenia.
The designers aim to "connect the unconnectable," integrating the eye-catching facade with the roof. The facade is visually transformed into a timber gable roof, historically characteristic of the environment. The timber on the facade is freely stacked and unprotected, allowing it to age and coalesce with the appearance of the surrounding landscape.

Fernando Romero has unveiled their proposal for Burning Man Project Temple. The concept is inspired by the Ancient Greek word holon, which refers to an object that is both complete unto itself and an integral part of a larger whole.
The temple's construction consists of a wooden truss system, devised by FR-EE to achieve its organic form. Each truss bows outward and is braced by 34 circular horizontal members, representing the 34 years of Burning Man's existence. A compression ring, the 35th horizontal member, caps off the truss system, framing a skylight and representative of the festival to come this 2020.

Observation tower, located on the River Mur (Southern Styria, Austria), is a sculptural structure that provides access to the ecology of the surrounding floodplain forest and enables the visitors to view the fluctuating river catchment and the surrounding landscape.
A double helix, appearing as a continuous trail climbing up through the trees, is the main concept of the tower. The viewing deck at a height of 27 meters offers a picturesque experience for visitors. The underlying concept behind the spiral-shaped walkways of the Mur Tower is the relationship between space and the experience of climbing up and down.

Japan National Stadium by Taisei Corporation + Azusa Sekkei Việt Nam + Kengo Kuma and Associates integrates Japanese-ness with multilayered “eaves.” Eaves are a component of traditional Japanese architecture, an established structure rooted in the Japanese climate. They contribute to creating environmentally friendly architecture by blocking sunlight and bringing a pleasant breeze to the stands. The large, flat roof is cantilevered, consisting of frames about 60m-long made of domestic wood and steel. This world-class stadium combines Japanese tradition, climate and technology.
In order to achieve superior quality and durability within the limited construction period, the cantilevered roof and stands are constructed of a simple steel frame, made of the same structure repeated in the circumferential direction. Precast materials were heavily used for the foundation and spectators’ seats. Employing a soft-first-story damping structure, the soft lower level with oil dampers effectively absorbs earthquake energy.

With a futuristic approach, Dubai Healthcare City is designed by Kalbod Design Studio to build a multi-functional complex focusing on medical services on Dubai seashores. The creative integration of digital and sustainable architecture, geographic and social conditions of the region, and acknowledging the future needs of tourists and citizens of Dubai were the primary fuels for designing the world’s largest medical tourism center in the Persian Gulf.
The crescent shape of the site plan symbolizes the architecture of Dubai’s region and the geometry of Burj al-Arab, as well as Muslim religious elements such as the lunar month. Also, the abstract combination of parametric forms and Islamic geometry patterns has been used in the grid designed for the site and higher levels.

Known for his famous 2 kilometers long concrete bridge, Sergio Musmeci is the intellectual engineer and a forerunner in the field of “form-finding.” Engineering, Aeronautics, music, and astronomy fed his curiosity and exceptional abilities to research scientific innovation. However, he addressed complicated problems through an empirical, almost artisanal method.
Sergio had devoted his entire life to studying vaults and minimum structures. Yet, the only project he has put into practice was the Musmeci Bridge which was the critical point in his career; he got the chance to reveal his vision. He designed a 30 centimeter thick double curved surface that emits a uniform compression.

“Pavilion of Clouds” built in the campus of BJFU in China for 2018 Bamboo Garden Festival, features a 120 square meters information hub that can later be turned into a recreational or gathering space.
Choice of bamboo provided SUP Architects the bending flexibility and easy processing either on site or in factories, which made it achievable for a pliable structure. Also, bamboo is known for weather-resistance capability once it had been given its shape and dried. Digital design tools led to the final design, the parts produced step by step after consulting bamboo contractors and structural engineers.
Central cone was the first piece to be made to hold the important parts of the pavilion, then the curved beams were formed followed by laying the bamboo crossing grid. Bamboo tile and PMMA were chosen as roof materials to prevent from rain and daylight which could also be adapted to the design easily.

Villa Marteau new Concert Hall by Peter Haimerl Architektur is characterised by 33 large expressive granite splinters, which are studded around a central stage on the walls and ceiling like a solidified explosion. For this purpose, thin granite slabs were mounted on a steel substructure - the largest elements are up to 13 metres long and weigh almost nine tonnes.
The splinter-like, tetrahedron-shaped granite elements define the spatial effect, with a corporeal and moving appearance, and have been placed to model the acoustics of the new hall.
The New Hall is characterised by a central concert stage flanked by two stands arranged in dialogue with one another. Space-defining bodies of granite extend in a sculpturally expressive manner above these two rising spatial elements.
They dynamise the space around the stage, with their powerful and expressive directionality whilst magically illuminating it through the backlighting of the splinters. At the same time, floating crystalline light bodies illuminate the stage space.

Hubei Science And Technology Museum Integrates The Traditional Chinese Philosophical Thought Of “Heavenly Round Place”.

"The Outdoor Room," Nuru Karim’s proposal for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Museum of Architecture competition to design treehouses across Kew UNESCO World Heritage Site. The proposal explores the inter-relationship between ”tree," "house," and "landscape" to create a unique design experience inspired by nature, driven by technology.
The proposed Tree House design is an inside-outside experience that can be accessed by all age groups and aims at creating a sense of "place" and “recreation." Horizontal platforms are defined for access, seating, reading, and meditation. These platforms aggregate, proliferate, and rotate differentially to morph from “landscape to skin.” The project is "light-footed," fabricated in GluLam & Cross Laminated Timber CLT, advocating sustainability, and respect for the climate and the earth's resources.
