The idea of how to intervene in this territory is born from observing how olives fall to the ground some half-buried, others supported, dispersed. What is interesting is the interstitial relationships between them, their voids, and the volumetric references. Mimiquing this shape, we come up with hexagonal geometric modulations for the different utilities: an olive oil extraction warehouse; an oil cellar; an auxiliary facilities warehouse; a reception space, a shop and conference room, and office, laboratory, staff, and toilet space.

Maribor’s coachmen were the most delighted when in 1912 the Austrians opened the now Stari Most – the ‘Old Bridge’ – over the Drava River, replacing the wooden bridge that had caused an annoying bottleneck on the busy road from Vienna to Trieste. The Stari Most, which links the districts of Lent and Tabor north and south of the river at its highest point, eventually became a symbol of the city, even though it left the banks of the Drava disconnected at the lowest point. The new Splavarska pedestrian bridge now links the two banks again in close proximity to the ‘Old Bridge’. Next to it, the new bridge is silent, underlines the presence of the metal structure of the old bridge in the city and distinguishes itself from it with a different material.

The Ventilation Tower at Dongfang Road of East-West Passageway and the Ventilation Shaft of Pudong Avenue Station on Metro Line 14 (referred to as the “Wind Tower” Project) is a crucial supporting facility for the joint construction of road tunnel section of the East-West Passageway and the Metro Line 14 in Pudong. Positioned at the southeast corner of the intersection of Pudong Avenue and Dongfang Road, it resides in a significant urban node to the east of Lujiazui CBD’s core area. To the east, between the Wind Tower and Qiancang Road, was the site of the historic Wu’s Residence (Wu Miaosheng’s Residence), a Heritage Architecture in Shanghai built in 1924. Adjacent to the south is the Chen’s Residence, built in the 1930s, designated as a Cultural Relics Protection Site in Pudong.

London, United Kingdom | April 16th, 2024 – The Sentosa Sensoryscape is a 350m sensory walk through Singapore’s Sentosa Island. As the first phase of a decades-long masterplan to transform Sentosa and Pulau Brani into a major leisure and tourism destination, this multi-sensory walk will link Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) in the north to Sentosa’s beaches in the south. Located on a steep and narrow ridgeline the project is designed as a step-free, universally accessible corridor that will allow visitors of different abilities to move comfortably from RWS to the beach.
