ADAT Studio competed against 70 international and Italian architecture firms, and presented an innovative design scheme that adheres to the strongest sustainability measures, whilst creating an architectural marvel that will infuse new life and experiences to the evolving Flaminio district of Rome, which is known as an area with examples of modern and historical architecture in Rome, from 1930s rationalist buildings to structures built for the 1960 Olympics that reflect that decade’s urban-planning philosophy to 21st-century award-winning sites.
ADAT Studio’s presentation was approved by a jury consisting of the world’s most prestigious architects and industry experts – including Daniel Libeskind, Benedetta Tagliabue, Fokke Moerel, Alessandro D’Onofrio. The brief was conceived by the Scientific Commission, which is chaired by Nobel Prize-winning Prof. Giorgio Parisi.

The New Benchmark for an Integration of Old and New in Shekou
As one of the milestones of China’s first economic reform, Dacheng Flour Factory was established in 1979, marking itself as a one of the most impressive landmark of the area with an iconic cylindrical silo. It has witnessed the prosperity of Shenzhen’s industrial era which ceased due to economic reform, leading to its eventual closure. With the preservation of history in mind, Aedas Global Design Principal Kevin Wang has led his team to put forward a probable proposal that balances the past and future.

After winning the commission through a public competition in 2016, KAAN Architecten undertook the renovation and extension of Museum Paleis Het Loo, taking cues from the layout and proportions of the baroque palace and its historic surroundings. The ambitious project involved the addition of over 5000 square metres of new facilities and spaces, a careful restoration of the palace, and a meticulous asbestos removal process. The newly transformed Paleis Het Loo now radiates the grandeur that befits one of the Netherlands’ most renowned and frequented museums.

Lithuania House of Basketball is an exceptionally designed Basketball Museum building, located in an exclusive location between urbanistic old town, near the historic Kaunas Castle and natural Santaka Park, at the confluence of the largest Lithuanian rivers.
The laconic building is the last building of Kaunas Old Town urban fabric, which seems to complete the quarter – a passer-by is already entering Santaka Park here.
The set of proposed interventions does not want to be highlighted. The general objective is not to impose the face of the new, but to reveal in a new way what is already there, through articulations, spatial dispositions and new paths that the interventions discreetly provide. The emphasis of the new elements does not reside in their appearance, but in their performance, in what they are capable of promoting, in their effectiveness in dynamizing and enhancing the virtues of the preexisting ones.

The Freedom Museum in Groesbeek, the Netherlands, has the shape of an enormous parachute, a recognizable symbol of liberation at the end of the war. The museum is housed in a Shaded Dome, an innovation of Shaded Dome Technologies, a company founded by architectural studio ZJA, Royal HaskoningDHV and Polyned. With a Shaded Dome as its roof, the museum has a distinctive and recognizable shape, but with its fluid form and its skin it also fits into the green, hilly landscape of Groesbeek.
