Max-Lab in Sweden is a Cyclic Particle Accelerator Based on a Möbius Strip / Snøhetta
Award-winning Norwegian architectural firm, Snøhetta, unveiled an innovative proposal for the Max-Lab in Lund, Sweden. The Max-Lab is a national laboratory jointly operated by the Swedish Research Council and the Lund University.
The overall architectural idea builds on the meeting point between the strong landscape and the circular shape of a synchrotron (cyclic particle accelerator). The circular shape is twisted and raised to create a dynamic form based on a Möbius strip that becomes an actual volume, not just a ribbon. The building is unified to the landscape through parks and cultural programs around an oval road with an iconic layout that would be independent from future developments in the surrounding area – from agricultural landscaping to urban developments. The geometry of the twisted cylinder is generated based on functional requirements and detailed solar studies for heat gain, reducing it up to thirty percent.
Tour des Arts / Forma 6 Architects
Architecture photographer Patrick Miara shared with us the Tower of Arts in the city of Les Herbiers, France designed by Forma 6 Architects with an outer skin made of copper and aluminium creating some great color changes during the day.
Lund is a metro city in Malmö, to give people a sense of where this is. The building is very reminiscent of the Danish pavilion at the Expo in Shanghai.

Architects: Ron Arad Architects Ltd (RAAL)
Location: Liege, Belgium
Principal Designer: Ron Arad
Project Director: Geoff Crowther
Project Architect: Paul Madden
Design Team: Joel Dunmore, Tuomas Pirinen, Marta Granda, James Foster, Julian Gilhespie
Ron Arad Architects were invited to design the new mall, roof and public spaces of the 40,000 sqm mixed use development known as Médiacité. Situated in Liege, once the world’s foremost centre for steel production and since in economic decline, the building stands out as a symbol of the city’s revitalisation and strives to spearhead the city’s regeneration.
P.O.K Passenger Transportation District / Sun and Associates
Kaohsiung, the largest port city in Taiwan, is in need of a cruise ship passenger terminal and public face for its contribution to the islands growing cultural importance. Sun and Associate’s submitted proposal for the Passenger Transportation District for the Port of Kaohsiung is a sweeping architectural statement on public use and green urban design. The obvious allusion to a wave creates a welcoming sensibility to visitors and speaks to the islands relationship to the sea. The building’s mixed use as a conference center, office, port and urban park expand the programs flexibility and public/ private accessibility.
First Prize Competition Winner for Theater in Tetovo, Macedonia / Besian Mehmeti, Betim Zeqiri, Bekir Ademi and Nikola Strezovski
A team of four architects: Besian Mehmeti, Betim Zeqiri, Bekir Ademi and Nikola Strezovski won first prize in a competition for a theater and library in the city center of Tetovo, Macedonia. The competition called for the design to incorporate both programs into one building. The total building area for the winning design is 25,000 m2 and includes 3 underground levels and is designed to correlate into the city square of the site.
1.ok, tsunami waves are coming to cruise terminal, but cool in connection to thema. Any Way more interesting than the being built here.
2.this above, an abjour ? I really didn't understand, but for sure the ones not immune would get tetanus in those old steels.
3.the rest is pretty normal ok.

The Tour de la Port Chapelle is a New Skyscraper for Paris / Abalos Sentkiewicz
The Tour de la Porte Chapelle is a new mixed-use development in Paris, France designed by award-winning architectural firm Abalos Sentkiewicz to be completed in 2012. The project was commissioned by the City of Paris as a new urban hub for the area; the innovative building is composed of three main towers that peel off from a multi-purpose plinth with civic, retail, and recreational areas. The towers are divided according to program including housing, offices, and hotel – a very interesting aspect of the proposal is the weaving of programs at the lower floors creating interstitial hybrid spaces.
