Article source: Visioarq Arquitectos The rehabilitation of this villa calls for various dimensions of dreams, both in the enjoyment of the interior and in the contemplation of the panoramic horizon. The contemporary language and materials, especially the volumes of white lacquered plates and large glass spans, clearly marked the enlargement, differentiated from the original house.

The headquarters’ innovative new reception area symbolizes Michelin’s reinvention, conceived to face 21st century challenges head-on; a design and operation that were conceptualized in a circular economy perspective, mindful of environmental impact.

Article source: Form 4 Architecture The oasis-like Verdant Sanctuary with its California xeriscape landscape that provides a buffer zone between the building and the street offers a pastoral and poetic break in an existing row of workaday buildings. Located in Palo Alto’s Stanford Research Park, Verdant Sanctuary neighbors a 1953 building designed by German architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) the original research-and-development facility that started Silicon Valley. Designed by Form4 Architecture, Verdant Sanctuary expresses its embrace of nature through each design element. It will be made almost entirely of mass timber and glass, and its dramatic roof design echoes the shape of a bird’s wings. Form4’s design plays off of the vernacular tradition of California Modernism, revisiting forms by inverting gable roofs and opening up the building enclosure to nature.

Article source: Form 4 Architecture The dynamic architecture of the Innovation Curve at Stanford Research Park celebrates the creative process of technology, which is fundamental to the international success of Silicon Valley. The peaks and valleys of sweeping metal curves serve as architectural metaphors for the highs and lows of exploratory research and development. Designed by Form4 Architecture of San Francisco, the new development comprises four buildings on the edge of Stanford Research Park in Palo Alto. The LEED Platinum-certified project contributes to the site’s emergence as an uplifting campus for tenants involved with computer gaming, translation software, and digital inventions. Representing the evolution of innovation on the face of the buildings, the lyrical design serves as a potent visual reminder of the dedicated, expansive, and intense work taking place inside.

Article source: QARTA Architektura Community Centre An important aspect of the Christian Community Centre of the Brethren Church in Kladno is not only spiritual programmes but also leisure activities for children, youth and adults, care for the people in need, support for people with serious illnesses, the physically disabled or people in crisis situations. The original multi-storey building in a terraced development, with no access to the garden and with many operational restrictions, was not suitable for these activities. The new centre required finding a suitable location and creating an operational prayer facility that would also include classrooms, a small café, office and garden area, thus supporting the wider community activities and enabling them to develop further.
