We just received some new images for this project. So, here is the updated project.
If museums are turning into supermarkets, why then should department stores not turn into museums?
“The Galleria Cheonan responds to the current retail climate in Asia, where department stores also operate as social and semi-cultural meeting places. Because of this, the quality of the public spaces within the building was treated as an integral aspect of the design.”, Ben van Berkel

The architecture of this new crematorium seeks to meet both the functional and emotional needs of cremations. This involves creating spaces with dignity for relatives who choose to follow the deceased until the cremation. It also means creating spaces of dignity for the staff that confirms the importance of their work. The crematorium has a relatively high degree of transparency and visibility, to create a good workspace and to make the crematorium a reference for the people in the region.
Volkan Alkanoglu has been awarded a prestigious 1st Prize in the International Architectural Ideas Competition for the Museum of Cartoon and Comic Art [MoCCA] in New York City. The competition drew over 100 worldwide entries and asked for unique and innovative architectural proposals for a new MoCCA Museum building which was established in 2001 and is currently based in the Soho area in New York City.
The monumental white building on Amsterdam’s Da Costakade was originally constructed in 1901 as a storage space for a wine company, before being converted into a parish in 1932 named De Liefde (‘The Love’). After falling into disrepair after many renovations, and with the last tenants leaving the property in 2007, the complex was completely rebuilt by Wiel Arets Architects and renames ‘De Nieuwe Liefde (‘The New Love’). The reconstruction included transforming the existing complex of buildings into a theatre and community centre composed of a main hall with seating for 230, a conference room with space for 60, a choir space for 50, a library, a grand foyer and a restaurant-café.
Taking into account a strong natural context, the project shows a wood skin drawing with a graphic pattern, composing a generous scale for a “building-sign”, real “Eco-museum” showcase.
We feel that a school should be like a small town, with streets, squares and houses. A town where one meets, learns, plays and discovers. A school as a town where children learn to peacefully coexist and grow.

Building consisting of an architectural design of three volumes: the main part contains their classrooms on three floors, two adjacent volumes separated by a small yard containing the polyvalent room, services and administration, connected to the main body of classrooms through a joint element that contains the bathrooms and storage.
The starting space for this interior reform project is a rectangle of approximate twenty meters long and eight meters wide, compartmentalizing into three main spaces in facade and various internal units that occupy the central space.
Founded in 1865 Saint-Petersburg zoo is the oldest zoological park of Russia. As most of other parks across Russia, it suffers today from a cruel lack of space, being located in the heart of the historical town center. The city has hence decided to create a new zoo, which will range over 300 hectares, on the town’s outskirts, escaping this way the high population density of the urban area. The project preserves a large strech of land, and implements an environmentally beneficial approach.
The original Alvarado home was a small Victorian, built in the late 19th century. It presented limitations typical of the homes of the era: a very compartmentalized floor plan; dark internal rooms; a small, utilitarian kitchen; and little connection to the outdoors. Our concept was to transform the existing Victorian house to better suit the needs of a modern family, with particular emphasis on changing the rear of the house. One of the challenges was to optimize light, while preserving privacy in a dense urban setting.
