This triangular module is also applied to spaces for outdoor activities. In line with this triangular theme, the shape is also applied to the ceiling systems for semi-outdoor spaces to filter natural light from the skylight to meet the needs of each activity. Combined with the company’s colour branding, the resulting atmosphere can be likened to sitting in the shade of a fuchsia tree. |

Name of Project: Kö Bogen II - Germany URL: https://www.world-architects.com/en/projects/view/ko-bogen-ii-1 Description: The Kö-Bogen II commercial building has the largest green natural facade in Europe: 8 kilometres of hornbeam hedge with more than 30,000 plants. At the same time, it stands for a paradigm shift: for turning away from the automotive age, turning to people as a benchmark and, with the sweeping green facade, a possible response by cities to climate change. The ecological benefit of hornbeams corresponds to that of around 80 fully grown deciduous trees. This is one possible answer to climate change. The building has already won several awards, with the real estate manager award - category "Project Development New Building", the Green GOOD DESIGN AWARD, the Golden Prize of Design Educates, 1st place in the "Reactivated Centers" category of the Polis Award and the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Award. |

In addition, rather than focusing on showing the authority of the church, the love and mercy of God were metaphorically expressed with the curve of the soft front. Furthermore, instead of creating a solemn spatial atmosphere with the common long corridor form, a new periodic worship space was proposed with a fan-shaped chapel plane that encourages the dynamic participation between believers. |

Name of Project: Heydar Aliyev Center - Baku, Azerbaijan URL: https://www.archdaily.com/448774/heydar-aliyev-center-zaha-hadid-architects Description: The Heydar Aliyev Center principally consists of two collaborating systems: a concrete structure combined with a space frame system. In order to achieve large-scale column-free spaces that allow the visitor to experience the fluidity of the interior, vertical structural elements are absorbed by the envelope and curtain wall system. The particular surface geometry fosters unconventional structural solutions, such as the introduction of curved ‘boot columns’ to achieve the inverse peel of the surface from the ground to the West of the building, and the ‘dovetail’ tapering of the cantilever beams that support the building envelope to the East of the site. |

Name of Project: O-14 Tower - Dubai URL: https://www.essentialhome.eu/inspirations/lifestyle/unique-buildings-in-the-world/ Description: The shell is not only the structure of the building, it acts as a sunscreen open to light, air, and views. A space nearly one meter deep between the shell and the main enclosure creates a so-called “chimney effect,” a phenomenon whereby hot air has room to rise and effectively cools the surface of the glass windows behind the perforated shell. This passive solar technique essentially contributes to a natural component to the cooling system for O-14, thus reducing energy consumption and costs, just one of many innovative aspects of the building’s design. |
