#Description provided by architect: Called «The Pearl of West Indies», Haiti was during a long time the most visited country of the Greater Antilles representing the occidental third of Hispaniola Island. Devastated in 2010 by an #earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, the country has now to be rebuilt from new innovative architectural and town-planning concepts.

#The Coral Reef project plans a matrix to build a three dimensional and energy self-sufficient village from one and only standardised and prefabricated module in order to rehouse the refugees from such humanitarian catastrophes. This basic module is simply made of two passive houses (with metallic structure and tropical wood facades) interlocked in duplex around a transversal horizontal circulation linking every unit.

#HOPE #UNIVERSITY #COLLEGE
#Project: Hope University College, Addis Abeba, Ethiopa.
#Client: Hope Enterprise, Addis Abeba & "Woord en Daad", Gorinchem, the Netherlands.
#Facts: New educational complex. Floor area 12.000m2. Completed 2012.
#Associated Architect: Abba Architects, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.

#The Philosophy of Hope Enterprises highly emphasizes on the change in the mentality of the youth. Not only in education but in the overall development of young people. Ergo, the youth, whom will have a major contribution to the rising living standards will have to conduct themselves from the Ethiopian perspective. Therefore, the Ethiopian perspective is consequently incorporated in all facets of the curriculum, and needs to be reflected in the architecture of educational buildings. This well proven perspective and philosophy of Hope Enterprises is designed to be felt at the campus.....

#Zaha #Hadid #Architects (ZHA) has unveiled its design for a new student residence development at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Jointly developed with Leigh and Orange, the new halls will be built on a steep hillside site with a near 25-metre level difference. The building's roofline acts as its main circulation route; the 200-metre long space will be punctuated with shaded break-out areas for staff and students. Images courtesy of ZHA and Visual Brick.
