PopUp dorms, Austria

The PopUp dorms have the finger on the pulse of the real estate sector. They are affordable, ecological, flexible, chic and they can be moved easily from one building site to another. The temporary student dorm called PopUp dorms were constructed in the record-breaking time of two weeks in “Seestadt Aspern” which is Austria’s largest urban development area. 

For the first time, a nearly zero-energy building was created with 23% less construction costs and 24% less life cycle costs than usual local private housing projects. The 22 completely prefabricated and furnished housing modules have 75 m² floor space for four students. They offer a generous common area on two floors. The PopUp dorms, a project of WBV-GPA, consist of two building phases for 40 and 47 students on about 1,000 m² each.

Special attention was put on sustainability: wooden construction, wooden façade, CO2 neutral balance in construction, passive house, photovoltaics, reuse of different properties and multiple possibilities of resettlement including a residue-free removal. The innovative energetic and ecological coordination was done by LANG consulting.

The project proves that energy-efficient construction does not run counter to social and affordable housing. Even though the project has been implemented without housing subsidies, students pay no more than US $406 per unit per month – utilities included – to the operators OeAD-Housing Office and home4students.

The PopUp dorms were pre-constructed by Obermayr Holzkonstruktionen in a weatherproof construction hall within two months, including windows, facing, blinds, doors, furniture, venting, heating, sanitary equipment and lighting. The idea behind the concept of the wooden modules was to create a transferable system, which doesn’t look like shipping containers and offers a cozily atmosphere and architectonical quality.

Lyu-Chuan Restoration, Taiwan

A splendor made from the sound of flowing water and curvature of the riverbanks, and a place to stop and immerse into the picturesque scenery.

With warmth and feelings, the Green Canal is now greener! The Shin Sei Green Waterway Project is a series of water infrastructure works including source purification, sewage interception, and environmental restoration, to improve water quality, flood prevention capabilities and finally to create an ecological landscape.The environmental restoration of the landmark Central District from Shuangshi Road to Minquan Road, which is 610 meters long. Our unique approach of designing with community in mind has enabled more leisure and recreational spaces to be created while ensuring flood safety. Come the end of 2017, facets of the urban waterfront shall create Lyu Chuan’s new memorable moments each day and night for the citizens and tourists of Taichung City. Lyu-Chuan is the first canal in Taiwan to receive a trademark, elevating the urban waterfront lifestyle to a whole new level. 

In combination with Lyu-Chuan trademark, we engaged experts from all scape and involved local residents along Lyu-Chuan and Liu-Chuan to develop the community, which not only provide an excellent model of urban water management but also assist Taichung City in establishing its waterfront brand. In view of the co-existence of ecology, waterfront, humanity & culture, and the approach of building a low-impact development and sustainable city, we aim to establish a porous sponge city for the prosperous city and make it be the shelter for biological habitats.

Depre Club House, Russia

Depre Club House is a unique project in the very heart of Moscow. It is an excellent example of future filled with a new meaning and ideas that is respectful of the past. The historic building was erected for Camille Philippe Despres the chief Moscow winemaker of the 19th century, a Russified officer of the Napoleonic army. The facade of the building was the responsibility of Roman Klein, a legendary Moscow architect, one of the most famous and sought-after Moscow architects of the late 19th – early 20th century. He is the author of the Moscow architecture jewels such as the building of the Central Department Store (TSUM), the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and many other iconic projects. 

KR Properties has given a new life to the cultural heritage building that was abandoned for about 20 years. Historical justice has been restored and the non-implemented project of architect Klein has been recreated in line with his historical drawings.

The entire historical part of the building has been completely preserved and adapted for new use. Now the project is a Deluxe Club House with unique living spaces with three-meter-high ceilings and own terraces that emphasize the exceptional taste and high status of their owners. The project has rare advantages for the Moscow downtown such as an enclosed courtyard ideally suited for unhurried outdoor leisure away from the metropolitan bustle, own underground parking garage, and guarded territory.

Today, Depre Club House is a harmonious combination of the past and the future, namely the reconstruction of a building designed in the beginning of the 20th century and the latest technological solutions. 
The project includes 23 apartment suites and 15 apartments.

The building has been identified as a monument of regional significance. Parts of the facility are recognized as objects of cultural heritage.

Culture Factory Project - Ózd, Hungary

Culture Factory Project - Ózd

This brown field area – including the buildings of the former Metallurgical Factory of Ózd – is located in the industrial centre of North-Hungary dating back to the 1800s. However, since the regime change, the area which is located in the historical centre of the town had lost its former function.

The rehabilitation of the buildings also included eco cultural development. Our efforts resulted in the establishment of an institutional system ensuring the connection of public education with the community’s cultural heritage and facilitating the conditions for life-long learning.

The parts of the project: renovation of the city museum and the expansion thereof through an outdoor industrial heritage area, the realisation of the educational building, the exhibition space of the cultural digital archiving centre and a theme park of film history including the “greenbox” warehouse of film rolls have revitalised the industrial halls.

During the past century, the factory and its buildings operated as one of the most important heavy industrial centres of the city, and the country at large, until the change of the regime. Now, with the culmination of the project, 39.000 m2 of contaminated industrial area has been renewed and a building of 15.000 m2 renovated. As a result of this reclamation, many new jobs have been created for the city and a thriving tourism industry established, which continues to grow.

These newly established institutions have given the community a renewed sense of their cultural heritage. As well as facilitating the capabilities necessary for upward social mobility and promoting community engagement through social activities.

Desa ParkCity, Malaysia

Desa ParkCity – Kuala Lumpur’s most livable community 

Established in 1990, Perdana ParkCity Sdn Bhd is a subsidiary of Yaw Holding Sdn Bhd, a family-owned conglomerate that operates in Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia and South America. In 1999, the Company acquired the Desa ParkCity site, a freehold 191-hectare land located 13km northwest of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, and dramatically transformed it from an active quarry mine into what is now arguably Kuala Lumpur’s most liveable, safest, prettiest and best-selling master-planned community.

A subsidiary of Samling Group, a Malaysian conglomerate with diverse business interests globally, ParkCity’s vision and mission is simple – to create a sense of place for people who value family, neighbourhood, community, convenience and connectivity. These five pillars essentially form ParkCity’s DNA in creating spaces for life.

Desa ParkCity (DPC), at 191 hectares, is the largest ongoing master-planned community in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. It is a multi-award winning development and the first sustainable master-planned community in Malaysia that embraces New Urbanism, emphasising self-sufficiency, holistic living, and strong community ties.

Residing on a former quarry, prerequisite environmental cleanup made the task of shaping the land for development challenging and costly. Construction works began in June 2002. On completion, the community will provide homes to a population of 35,000 in a healthy, wholesome and liveable environment. DPC is a community that rewards residents and visitors with its deep sense of place, vibrancy and charm. In 2011, the Company successfully marketed its premier range of Parkhomes (highly-modified, large three-storey intermediate terrace homes) at a record price of RM5.2 million (or USD1.2 million) each.

Since 2008, the Company has expanded its portfolio with majority stakes of two other master-planned developments: the 77-hectare ParkCity Hanoi, Vietnam; and the 223-hectare Marina ParkCity, Miri, Sarawak.

Upper West, Germany

Within a short period of time, the building has become a landmark known all around the city. At one of the liveliest spots in Berlin, the current ensemble of a tower building and an office building at Breitscheidplatz represents an additional enrichment for its surroundings through the diversity of its usages. 

In the tower, dressed in a radiant, white aluminum façade, there are the highest situated office facilities in the entire city which offer tenants and visitors an equally incomparable view as the Skybar on the 33rd floor. Planned and certified according to the most modern standards of sustainability, the finely tuned building and façade technology make an individualized comfort of use with simultaneous optimized energy consumption possible. Also spectacular is the view of the Memorial Church and Breitscheidplatz from the rooftop terrace of the flagship hotel, which imparts an urban attitude towards life in each of its rooms throughout 19 floors. In the design of the urban space at Breitscheidplatz, the UPPER WEST goes along with the tradition of compact urbanity, which has characterized the location for a century. The façade of the office building, with its large window elements and their remarkable framing made of white fiber concrete, is inspired by its historical predecessors at Breitscheidplatz. 

The first building on Kurfürstendamm is one of the most sought after addresses for retail, as it is for office tenants on the upper floors. The internationally renowned artist Olaf Nikolai was invited to create a work of art for UPPER WEST’s forecourt. An oversized, 16-meter-high gas lantern made of high-gloss-polished and reflective stainless steel commemorates the introduction of artificial light in the metropolis of Berlin.

Univention Landmark, Taiwan

We are deeply honored to represent Taiwan in the 2019 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards, a meaningful event.

This report not only shares the implementation of the Univention Landmark, the design concept, the development process, and the management-oriented narrative. More importantly, the benefits and impact that this case can bring to the entire environment is what we sincerely value.

The construction of this competition is based on the public interest and aims to improve the quality of the urban environment. It is not only to improve the living environment, to beautify the urban landscape; it can also promote the value of the land to plan and reuse, and improve the overall competitiveness of the city. The design concept of this case is to integrate professionalism and convey beauty. Combining architectural culture and aesthetics of life, we are committed to creating an oriental cultural architecture with both humanistic qualities.

There are many challenges to be faced in the development of the case. Taking the Tong Chuang Enterprise Building in this competition as an example, the tangible and intangible cost of any link is hard to estimate. In the process, we thank everyone for their encouragement and assistance, let us stick to today's situation and witness the transformation results of this case.

Since the establishment of Tong Chuang Construction in 2005, each case has been under the demanding sculptures, and the number of cases currently being pushed is not much.

However, we are confident that we will continue to solve the difficulties and bravely move forward on the architectural aesthetics and intelligent culture.

We hope that through the activities of this competition, we will enrich our professionalism and experience in the field of intelligent green architecture, and then create a high-quality, intelligent and humanistic new life.

National Taitung University Library and Information Center, Taiwan

National Taitung University(NTTU) is located on the most beautiful section of Taiwan’s east coast, between the mountains and the sea. Established in 1948, National Taitung University boasts more than 5,000 students, 40,000 alumni, and 750 faculty members and staff. There are three main academic units at National Taitung University: the College of Humanities, the College of Science and Engineering and the Teachers’ College.

The Library and Information Center of National Taitung University is located in the center of the campus, adjacent to an ecological detention pond. A major landmark on campus and in Taitung, the library is a unique model of landform archtecture that connects with the surrounding topography enriching the students’ experience with the natural surroundings of NTTU. 

The library’s design concept responds to two major concerns. First, its location bridges the route between the residential quarters, the learning areas and the lake area. And second, the design is visually and ecologically integrated with its natural surroundings. The north section of the building was modeled after an abstract mountain shape, the summit of which provides the most scenic views from the campus. Along the lakeside, the lower sections of the structure intersect at the library\'s main entrance. 

Library users can enjoy the scenic views outside and a spiritual cave like space inside. By simply walking up to the top of the building and beholding the magnificent vistas of the surrounding mountains, rivers, towns, channel and islands, even the most stressed out of students can find peace.

Happiness Gendii, Taiwan

With YU&YUE, we strive to balance between the necessary architectural behavior and overall environment, seeking to achieve the maximum equivalent between ecology X value X basic needs of everyday living. We also brought the concept of \"the longer a house last, the more sustainable it can be\" into entire project execution, honoring and fulfilling our responsibility as a developer this era of time here in Taiwan. 

Location | The HSR Special District can not only conveniently travel around nation within one day reach through various types of transportation, its land cost is also much more reasonable than city center, which can later reflect on more affordable unit price. 

Neighborhood Friendly | Start from building a park for the neighborhood, we then grow two big treelike building around it, the trees we called Happiness Gendii YU and YUE. Furthermore, the sidewalk between two buildings we adopted from Taichung City Government are beautified with abundant native greens, connecting and sharing entire districts greenway passage to the river, promoting the ten-thousand-steps healthy lifestyle with our neighbors.

Appropriate Density | When it comes to comfortable space-wise planning, between the appropriate living quality to the economic efficiency, we chose to only develop 30.29% property density while the law is permitted up to 50%. Less m2 for sale but more greenery to fill in our lives.

Design&Construction | We tried various ways to enhance the interaction between human and nature, using long lasting materials and thoroughly carried out quality implementation. We tried to create a happy living environment with more flexible humanized spaces, and of course emphasize on budget and construction period control. All of which as means to our final goal in creating a happy home, decreasing the urge to change house and to reach the maximum value this development could be.

Village At Pasir Panjang presents 148 exclusive units consisting of 2, 3 & 4 bedroom typical units and 3 & 4 bedroom state-of-the-art penthouses.

Characterised by simplicity and purity of lines, Village At Pasir Panjang was inspired, and took its name from, the concept of the village of yesteryears – where a central communal area was readily available for people to gather and interact.

Architecturally, the façade of the residences and clubhouse draw references from Singapore’s black and white houses of the affluent during the British colonial period, creating yet another connection to a more nostalgic time.

On the inside, all things new are injected into the living spaces to present a modern, calm and elegant feel. The interior is crafted with the discerning eye of top quality finishes and custom fittings, presenting a home of classy simplistic elegance.

Raffles City Hangzhou, China

Located in the heart of Hangzhou’s new CBD, Raffles City Hangzhou embodies the Group’s strategy to continue building such hubs as it is to date the largest Raffles City development with the widest array of business types. By making the two 250 metres-tall towers gently rotate towards the sky, the curves of the building mimicked the beauty of the tidal waves and created a unique architecture that is a form of modern art and reflected the character of its location.

The project was designed by the world-renowned architect Ben van Berkel, the principal architect of UNStudio from Netherlands. Inspired by the Qiantang River,the main river that connects the old historical Hangzhou to the new CBD where Raffles City Hangzhou is,he designed Raffles City Hangzhou to replicate the surging tides of the Qiantang River. The twin towers look like elegant tidal waves spiraling towards the sky, attesting to a design concept that is both inspired by and resonates with its surroundings.

Raffles City Hangzhou has a total construction area of about 385,335 square meters. The building comprises twin towers that are about 250 meters tall, connected at ground level by a podium. It has 60 floors above ground, and 3 floors underground, with more than 1,800 parking spaces in total (both above and below ground). It houses six different business types: shopping mall, office, luxury serviced residences, 5-start hotel, SOHO apartments and strata apartments.

Not only is Raffles City Hangzhou the most iconic landmark of Hangzhou, it also won multiple awards locally and overseas. It achieved two unique awards in the Zhejiang Province: it is the first ultra-high building that fully uses BIM technology and the first commercial integrated development designed and built completely in accordance to the LEED golden standard.

Collections and Research Centre of the Tyrolean State Museums, Austria

In 2013, Austria’s Federal Province of Tyrol announced an EU-wide open competition in which 150 architecture firms participated, with Franz&Sue emerging as the winner. In the Collections and Research Center that was built as a result, the federal province now has a compact building that bundles storage facilities, workshops, workspaces, and research laboratories at a single location. 

This flat, square-shaped monolith serves as a treasury of sorts, as one that protects cultural treasures—the memory of Tyrol, collected at the foot of the imposing Tyrolean Alps in a mysterious architectural strongbox, seemingly impenetrable from the outside. Its façade, featuring gray panels of fiberglass-reinforced concrete, combines historical craftsmanship and innovative technology. And this façade’s minimalistic openings, such as the red entrance portal, are invisible outside of opening hours. 

The building’s spatial concept is simple and clear. In keeping with an onion-layer principle, its outer sections contain 7,500 m2 of storage space; the next layer is a circulation zone comprised of access corridors, and the core area features brightly lit work and studio spaces for this facility’s ca. 40 employees plus an introverted, greenery-filled atrium that provides a “contemplative circle” for the researchers. Two of the building’s three stories are sunk into the earth, ensuring a separate, optimized climate of 19° C and 50% humidity for the storage areas without any need for complex climate control technology.

Functionality, security, low-tech systems, and textured materials characterize the entire structure, which is designed to be sustainable, easily maintained, and resource-saving.

As director Wolfgang Meighörner sums up: "This is a conceptual milestone in the development of Tyrol’s museum landscape."
