*️⃣ZILart museum

Architect #SPEECH
City #Moscow
Country #Russia #EU part

🔤The architecture of the building deliberately draws on the industrial aesthetic historically associated with the former ZIL factory. The museum’s exterior takes the form of a cubic volume wrapped in a continuous trapezoidal lattice structure, clad with copper cassettes. #context@simoderna

Particular attention is given to the large-scale entrance hall. With a height of 30 meters, #copper panel finishes, and artworks by contemporary street artists, the atrium becomes a visually striking space.

All levels of the museum are oriented toward this central volume, allowing visitors to intuitively understand the building’s layout and navigate it with ease.

*️⃣Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza

Architect #MAD
City #Shenzhen
Country #China #AP

🔤"Situated between the CBD of a modern, international metropolis and nature, our primary consideration was to create a public civic space where everyone can enjoy the city's precious bay resources."

"Architecture should be integrated into nature and become a landscape that can be experienced." – Ma Yansong. #quote@simoderna

Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza is located at the heart of this international bird corridor. Therefore, ecological conservation was prioritized from the outset of the design, with extensive planting of native vegetation to recreate intertidal feeding areas and habitats for passing birds. #sustainability@simoderna

Furthermore, a pedestrian- and vehicle-separated slow-moving network will allow people to traverse the cultural precinct freely and safely, avoiding traffic interference and enjoying public experience.

*️⃣Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision

Architect #Neutelings #Riedijk #NeutelingsRiedijk #NRA
City #Hilversum
Country #Netherlands #EU

🔤The colorful façade is a screen of glass panels designed by Jaap Drupsteen that depict historical stills of Dutch television in relief. Together they form a single, new image in which the colors intermingle like a watercolor solidified in glass, a monumental portrayal of Dutch collective memory.

A silver-colored exhibition volume floats like an inverted ziggurat above the canyon. The empty space between the ziggurat and the canyon forms a large public atrium for media events and award presentations.

The Dutch national radio and television archives are stored underground in naturally climate-controlled depots grouped around a canyon, much like a large, five-level subterranean necropolis.

*️⃣Kioi Seido

Architect #Naito #HiroshiNaito
City #Tokyo
Country #Japan #AP

🔤Designed by Hiroshi Naito for the Japanese RINRI Institute of Ethics, and completed in 2021, Kioi Seido was designed with 'no particular purpose'. The brief from the client was that “The functions will be considered according to what has been done, so please design as you like."

According to a statement by Naito, “My client’s only order was that I think about the Jomon — a prehistoric era of Japanese history, known for its mysterious clay figurines, knotted-rope pottery and an aesthetic that feels both ancient and strangely abstract.

“Neither the purpose nor the function of the Pantheon is well understood,” reads Naito’s statement. “If the question was to be purposeless, I wanted to build a modern Pantheon.”

*️⃣AZULIK City of arts

Architect #Roth
City #FranciscoUhMay close to #Tulum
Country #Mexico #NA

🔤The centerpiece of The City of Arts's set, within a 10-acre creative complex, offers a space to explore the relationship between nature, art, and ancestry. An example of biomorphic architecture, the museum integrates its surroundings, serving as a shared habitat for flora, fauna, and contemporary design. #context@simoderna

Developed organically without plans to foster creativity, it uses native bejuco vines treated manually by local bejuqueros to achieve organic shapes.

Throughout the process, Mayan workers contributed their ancestral knowledge about materials and types of construction. Thanks to that, it was possible to avoid the use of heavy machinery. #sustainability@simoderna
