The CGR project was developed in response to an assignment entrusted directly to Antonio Iascone by proprietor Gianluca Vacchi, who needed to increase the floor space and extend the range of functions offered by the Castenaso Golf Club, which is sited just beyond the outskirts of Bologna.
The brief involved the construction of five new building units, a swimming pool, and an al-fresco bar to complete the existing facilities of the original clubhouse, which was located in a converted farmhouse known as the Casalunga.
The buildings provide space for a reception centre, clubhouse, a spacious and functional changing room with golf-bag storage, a fitness centre annexed to an open-air swimming pool and solarium, and an accommodation centre with eight rooms.
Arada has announced Phase One of the Central Hub in Sharjah will complete in the first quarter of next year. The focal point of the US$6.5 billion Aljada development in Sharjah, the Central Hub by Zaha Hadid Architects is a new leisure and entertainment destination for the UAE that defines Aljada’s role as a transformational project for Sharjah.
The Central Hub’s design conceptualises the first moment a water droplet strikes the earth’s surface, captured in an array of elliptical buildings that are designed to channel prevailing winds into public spaces and courtyards to aid natural cooling.
Arada’s commitment to sustainability and smart technologies is integrated within the Central Hub. The complex’s natural ecosystem, irrigated by recovered and recycled water, is designed to sustain a microclimate at ground level for gardens featuring plant species native to the region, while the Central Hub’s lighting requirements will be entirely provided by smart solar power.
More than 25 football fields in size (1.9 million square feet), the car-free Central Hub is focussed around its large central plaza and public observation tower.
The project is located in Puerto Cancún and includes a golf course, hotels, condominiums, shopping mall, timeshares and spaces for retail business. From the building, we can enjoy the wonderful view of the Caribbean Sea, of the Nichupte Lagoon or of the city of Cancún.
Based on a LEED Certified criteria, this project will represent an innovative and pioneering spirit becoming a symbol of the future. The realization of benefits associated with LEED starts with a transformation of the design process itself.
