Nextech is a company that provides Information Technology infrastructure and data-storage solution services. Their previous office was at the heart of Bangkok’s business district and after a long period of paying the costly rental price in an office building, they decided that it was time to build their own headquarters. During the time that tech industries are the leader in moving towards a paperless working environment, online working and cloud storage have proven that work can be done from anywhere. This new concept has challenged traditional office space design and utilization.

Daichi Isumi House / Suppose Design Office

Since before the Coronavirus pandemic, I had started looking for land parcels along the river near the ocean. Whenever I can find the time, I enjoy an idyllic life of camping and visiting the snowy mountains, where there existed no architecture. The experience of being in a place where no infrastructure is readily available is to me, heartily enriching every time I visit. I often think about how to create something close to this natural experience through architecture in a wide-open space.

Kansas City International Airport New Terminal / Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

March 1, 2023 Paula Pintos 0

The new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (KCI)—designed, planned, and engineered by SOM with Clark | Weitz | Clarkson (CWC) and a team of consultants largely led by women—is a state-of-the-art travel hub that transforms the existing airport. This 1.1-million-square-foot building replaces the original, overcrowded terminals, built in 1972, with a single 39-gate complex designed to expand to 50 gates in the future. The project significantly increases passenger capacity, and reimagines the travel experience, embodying the region’s rich culture and elevating the airport into a place that is inclusive and accessible to all.
