Graubünden Museum of Fine Arts, 2016 Barozzi VeigaBahnhofstrasse 35, 7000 ChurThis extension to Villa Planta, a museum dedicated to fine arts, also accommodates the Bündner Kunstmuseum. The project’s logical order has been inverted: a series of exhibition spaces have been placed below ground level as to reduce the structure’s exterior volume. Its cubic form is clad in sculptural concrete slabs.

Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, 2016 Herzog & de MeuronPlatz der Deutschen Einheit 1, 20457 HamburgConsisting of an existing 1960s brick warehouse and a new, glazed upper section, this complex accommodates a philharmonic hall, a chamber music hall, restaurants, bars, a panorama terrace, apartments and a hotel. The extension’s glass facade is formed from 1,100 panes, and the undulating roof rises to a full height of 108 metres.

Dockland Office Building, 2005 BRT ArchitektenVan-der-Smissen-Straße 10, 22767 Hamburg This building was designed to appear like a ship, situated as it is by the Elba River. The glass parallelepiped has seven levels extending 40 metres. The vicinity of the river also affected certain details of the project, such as the need for a system for preventing flooding of the lower floors, should the river overflow its banks.

Leutschenbach School, 2009 Christian KerezLeutschenbach, Saatlenfussweg 3, 8050 ZürichNot unlike a high-rise, this project stacks classrooms, a library, a multi-purpose hall and a gymnasium into a single volume with a small footprint. All levels are composed as structural steel frameworks. The location of the bracing differs from one level to another, allowing various layouts of the interior spaces.

Poly Grand Theatre, 2014 Tadao Ando Architects & Associates 159 Baiyin Road, Yumin Nan lu Jiading District Encased behind a glass and aluminum curtain wall, this complex is located between two man-made waterways. Five openings are carved through the building, creating a series of public spaces that are exposed to the open air, but sheltered from rain. The tunnels are lined with aluminium, and were later painted to look like wood.

Emerson College, 2014 Morphosis5960 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028 The West Coast campus for the Boston arts and communication school is comprised of a 10-storey metal, glass and aluminium square that frames a cluster of classrooms and interlocking walkways. The building features a series of automated fins on the glass-curtain wall, which respond to shifting weather conditions.

YinChuan Museum of Contemporary Art, 2015 we architech anonymousYinChuan City, Ning Xia ProvinceThis museum’s mass was inspired by the local topography, its ribbon-like facade mimicking the layers of sediment left by the gradual shifting of the nearby Yellow River. It is comprised of over 1,600 unique panels made from reinforced concrete. A glazed roof overhead allows natural light to flood the interior spaces.

The Broad, 2015 Diller Scofidio + Renfro221 S Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012 With a honeycombed, concrete exoskeleton, this contemporary art museum’s self-titled ‘veil-and-vault’ structure reflects the two ambitions of the project: an acre of column-free exhibition space on the third floor and the storage of The Broad’s 2000-piece collection, visible through portholes in the exit stairwell.
