Fukoku Tower by Dominique Perrault Architecture (FR)
Inspired by ‘a gigantic tree whose roots proliferate on the surface of the ground’, this reflective glass-clad office building was completed in 2010 by a renowned Parisian architectural practice Dominique Perrault Architecture. Located in Osaka, Japan, the 28-storey tower was developed for Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance Company and apart from the office space, the high-rise also encompasses additional facilities such as university laboratory, underground car park and a 4.900-square-meters commercial area.

Ando Momofuku Centre, Okubo Komoro, Japan
Kengo Kuma & Associates completes new training centre in Nagano
Kengo Kuma & Associates wanted to create a building standing solely with a roof, not a box enclosed with wall. Given that the training centre aims to learn about nature and outdoor activities in this rich natural environment, the architects thought that a typically Japanese, semi-outdoor space under a deep eave would perfectly serve the purpose. In such set-up, studying indoors and activities outdoors in the forest could be connected seamlessly.

Hearst Tower, New York, United States
A building that almost wasn't is celebrated in film
The Hearst Tower in New York City marks an important moment in architectural history. As the first skyscraper to be built in the city post 9/11, it sent a message to the world that America’s great tradition of building towers was not dead as many feared but that it was alive and well, infused with a new vitality and informed by a different set of values. Indeed Hearst Tower was the first of a new generation of skyscrapers that were more smartly built - both greener and more technologically advanced - making it a benchmark for our industry and for the city of New York.

Taroudant University, Taroudant, Morocco
Taroudant University reinterprets Moroccan culture for the 21st Century
A secular town with a strong cultural identity, Taroudant's architectural style, full of history, is an expression of the deep Moroccan South. The Taroudant University is an attempt to reinterpret that heritage through a building that carries a vision for the future. To that effect, the design relies on a set of architectural and urban principles brought to life through a conception where the inward and the outward interpenetrate, the scales vary and where the user is one with architecture.

The Hub - Coventry University, Coventry, United Kingdom
Coventry University hub open 24/7 as home from home for studious undergraduates
Coventry University employed HawkinsBrown in 2008 to design and deliver a student enterprise centre that would provide an holistic approach to the learning, social and welfare needs of their students. The brief was to provide an innovative social and learning environment - a 'home from home' that up to 1000 students could access 24/7 for individual research, group learning, informal tutorials, counselling, support and social activities. A high proportion of the 12,000 Coventry undergraduates are from ethnic minorities and live at home, the interior design of the Hub plays reference to this by introducing modern over-scaled floral carpets, bespoke decorative wallpapers, sofas and bean bags.
