Futurist Architecture

The volume of Youth House and House of Associations is divided into two levels. This separation is done by adding a collaboration of a mezzanine floor. Each program of this building design has its own floor. The youth home is located on the ground floor while the home of associations can be found on the first level of the building. Each of them also has an entrance on one of some gables.

The design concepts of the architecture in this project can respond to the imperative for this site to be welcoming and inclusive. Yagan Square also becomes an active cultural and civic destination that represents the diversity of broader Western Australia and local Perth region. The convergence ideas for this project include indigenous and non-indigenous people, narratives, tracks, and geologies.

The building design revolves around the passive surveillance pinwheel from the main reception area. With some different spaces, the design can embrace the ocean distant views, the city, bold park, and intimate views of a ficus tree and the courtyard. With large glass doors and walls, the views around the building also can be seen easily from inside the building.

Some utilitarian elements are concealed and the doors reliance is minimized based on the principles of the apartment planning made by the architect. With an ESD focus and some features, the elegant building can be designed with an easy feel to live with. The features include using roof skylights or light well for space ventilation.

This museum has a complex three-dimensional geometry from its concrete shell. It is shaped by the local worker’s hand in Qinhuangdao using a formwork made from wood small linear strips and other chosen materials. The architect also retains the imperfect and irregular texture of the formwork, allowing the building’s manual construction traces to be seen and felt clearly.

The interior design of LUMIPOD is made as a 4 hotel room with a curved entry door. The wardrobe is located on the right side of the bed while the bed itself is integrated into a shallow niche. The bathroom has a toilet, a shower, a sink, and a toilet that closed by a glass wall. For the finishing, the designer uses rough and simple materials such as woods for the bedroom floors and plywood for the ceiling and plywood.

The extreme weather like winter becomes another issue for this project because the site is located in northern China. So when winter comes, there is no outdoor playground. The architects propose a linear space with 6 meters in wide and 80 meters in length for the teachers and children as an indoor multi-purpose playground. There is also communal space designed to encourage communication with the audio and visual connections.

Yamasen Japanese Restaurant has a designed large roof in order to avoid the existing five trees around the site. There is also a number of shops gathers under this large roof, providing a comfortable and perfect place for the people to gather. This restaurant is not an ordinary place to enjoy food and drink but also a place to socialize with others.

The architect tries to create a good balance between the building and the exterior area around it. With the complete facilities such as classroom and parking lots, UQTR Drummondville Campus offers a perfect environment to study and learn many things.

The design elaboration is used up to the concept of the graphic wayfinding. The awesome design for the installation in the coffee bar in the atrium is made by Studio Drift. The whole concept and design are made by a collaboration of Fokkema & Partners as the architect, together with Cepezed and Rijnboutt.

This awesome project by RMW Architecture & Interiors is certified LEED® Gold. The lobby is also awarded in Interior Design Magazine’s category for the Best Large Lobby in 2015. It is also recognized as a 2015 ENR California Best Project for the Renovation/Restoration Category.
