O TreeHouse Hotel é um projecto experimental, que visa incitar à reflexão dos processos universais de criação de cidade.
Assistindo-se a um contínuo crescimento da população e o seu êxodo na direcção dos grandes centros urbanos, este projecto surge como lembrança da importância de um crescimento sustentável e orientado para a natureza, como sendo um dos valores universais da vida humana.

" Located in the heart of West Hollywood, this new eleven unit housing project emphasizes the central importance of shared open space for the residents and the community. Formosa takes what would be the internalized open space of the courtyard and moves it to the exterior of the building to create a park which occupies approximately one third (4,600 sf) of the project site.
As a result of shifting the common open space to the exterior and pushing the building to one side, units are organized linearly allowing for ‘park frontage’ and cross-ventilation for every unit. External circulation is used as a buffer between public and private realms and articulated through layers of perforated metal and small openings.
The careful placement of outer skin panels and inner skin fenestration creates a choreographed effect, both revealing and concealing, while achieving a unique expression of form and materials (...) "

Hua Qing Bei Road
Work
Shenzen | China
+ info: Bustler
O desenvolvimento exponencial da região industrial de Shenzen, levou a uma densidade descontrolada na sua rua de carácter mais comercial. A alteração desse traçado - com o cumprimento de 1 km - foi o programa do concursos internacional, vencido por Work Architects em colaboração com o gabinete de engenharia Arup, que aqui apresentamos.
Em vez de uma solução única, que poderia quebrar a dinâmica da rua, propôs-se a realização de 5 edifícios iconográficos, num tipo de intervenção apelidada pelo autor de "acupunctura urbana", respondendo cada intervenção a um interesse estratégico. A cada edifício correspondeu um diferente espaço público, desde museus a um jardim suspenso no centro da rua. Ao nível do subsolo encontram-se outros espaços de lazer, como bibliotecas, mas essencialmente se procurar estabelecer ligações com a rua, como à recente linha de metro.
" Hua Qiang Bei has emerged naturally from an industrial district to become Shenzhen’s premier shopping and electronics street.
This success has also unfortunately created traffic problems, and the street needs a new contemporary expression to reflect its destination status. A single solution – as proposed by Shenzhen’s Planning Bureau – that covers the entire length of the street, could overwhelm this vibrant character. For this reason, we proposed a series of strategic interventions, rather than a single approach.
We have taken the idea of the 3D Street and created five iconic “lanterns” by twisting the required program into sinuous bands, creating unique, visible destinations through a process of “urban acupuncture”.
Each Lantern contains special destination public programs. From an electronics museum at the south, to an urban information hub in the electronics district to an elevated public park at the center, a “figure eight” observation pavilion and a fashion and design museum at the north. Underground, new connective spaces provide public amenities – a public library, a food court, and a series of performance and gallery spaces – and provide connections across the street and between four newly created metro lines "
