Kolding Campus In a sustainable class of its own As regards the design of the building, Henning Larsen Architects has not only minimised the need for energy for lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation; the architects have also focused on optimising the passive properties of the building to allow for the shape and construction to contribute to solving some the tasks that would otherwise be solved by means of energy intensive technologies. Daylight is an important parameter in a building to ensure a healthy indoor climate and the well-being of the users. However, the approach should be to balance the inflow of daylight by means of large glass areas and window screenings as large glass areas could also have negative consequences as regards heat loss, increased requirements for cooling and ventilation. To a high degree, the facade, i.e. the building envelope, determines the indoor climate of the building just as it provides the building with a significant, architectural expression.
Chenchow Little Architects – Sydney Australia Main/News : Abalos+Sentkiewicz arquitectos Car park at Ørestad Upper Secondary School The identity of the car park is based on its location in the city as well as its function as part of the traffic facilities of Copenhagen, including the airport and metro. The objective of the design is to open up and activate the car park and downplay its warehouse character and technical expression. The intention is to create a safe car park encouraging rational and efficient commercial parking. To achieve this, the entry and exit are located in the same place, one-way traffic by means of ramps has been introduced and focus has been on making it easy for the users to find their way. With its vibrant expression, the eastern facade connects to the rational parking plan and constitutes the framework of a continuous stairway that links the three floors of the car park and ensures the right inflow of daylight. The western facade opens up to the joint access road providing a view of the area and a plentiful inflow of daylight.
Vincent Callebaut Architecte OURCQ PROGRAM : Innovation Centre in Sustainable Development LOCATION : Canal de l'Ourcq, Paris 19èmeSURFACE AREA : 2065 M²PERSPECTIVES : Philippe Steels Anti-Smog is a parasite project set up on the post-industrial urban structure of the Petite Ceinture and the canal de l’Ourcq in the 19th Parisian district. It is a public equipment dedicated to promote the last innovations on the theme of sustainable development in urban area in terms of housing or transport. Its role is to apply all the avant-garde renewable energies so as to fight against the Parisian smog. This smog (smoke + fog) is a bluish to reddish haze. Anti-Smog is thus an ecological prototype of auto-sufficient, depolluting architecture, reactive to its environment and is set up on an Euclidean urban vector with three axes: In X, the canal de l’Ourcq : In Y, the rail bridge of the Petite Ceinture : The line of the Petite Ceinture is an old double way train line that went round Paris inside the boulevards des Maréchaux.

BIG | Bjarke Ingels Group Umeå School of Architecture As a growth centre for the architecture of the future, Umeå School of Architecture will provide the framework for inspiration and innovation. From the outside, the building has a cubic expression with its larch facades and square windows placed in a vibrant, rhythmic sequence on all sides. The interior space of the building is designed as a dynamic sequence of stairs and split, open floor levels where abstract, white boxes hang freely from the ceiling filtering the light coming in through the high skylights. One of the key objectives has been to create a bright and open study environment where everyone is part of the same room – only separated by the split levels and glass walls of the teaching rooms. The design supports the opportunity for mutual inspiration and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and ideas between the students. Sustainability and materials

hierve IT University A digital art installation by the American artist John Maeda creates a dynamic and interactive visual composition in the atrium, projecting words and images onto the white meeting boxes. The ground floor comprises the common facilities; lecture halls, students’ café, canteen and library. All research and teaching areas are located on the upper floors. Teaching facilities in open study areas surrounding the atrium and research departments in the calmer zones at both ends of the building. The building stands elevated above terrain. A metal clad frame folds around the entire volume in one singular dynamic movement. Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg The Ravine House is a remarkable statement of modern residential architecture set into an equally remarkable landscape of native vegetation. It is sited immediately adjacent to steeply sloping banks common within the Toronto ravine system. The challenge of the design of the North Garden was to reconcile the relationship of this space and its potential with that of the entry drive, forecourt, and main entrance to the home.
Pabellón de Dinamarca para la Expo Shanghai 2010 / BIG En mi opinión, Bjarke Ingels es un arquitecto con un discurso potente y muy claro. Y esto se hace presente en el nuevo proyecto que se ha adjudicado su oficina BIG, nada más ni nada menos que el pabellón de Dinamarca para la Expo Shanghai 2010, junto a la consultora ARUP y 2+1. Pues bien, uno parte de la pregunta de que poner en un pabellón que represente a su país. La respuesta de BIG es un loop que da forma a un velódromo con capacidad para 1,500 bicicletas. Al centro de la muestra se encuentra una piscina con agua traída directamente desde la bahía de Copenhagen, otro de sus orgullos, ya que pasó de ser una bahía industrial a tener una de las aguas más limpias de Europa, cosa que podrán experimentar los visitantes del pabellón, quienes podrán incluso bañarse. Al centro de esta piscina se encuentra la escultura La Sirenita, en honor al autor de cuentos Hans Christian Andersen.
