#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.

This man-made archipelago is set to be constructed in Malaysia. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) (#big #builds) is set to team up with Kuala Lumpur designer Hijjas Kasturi Associates to create the series of artificial islands in the Malacca strait. "BiodiverCity" will include 25 kilometres of new waterfront, 4.6 kilometres of beaches, and several villages that will be able to hold up to 16,000 residents. Divided into three sections, the first island will host a technology park, research institutions and a cultural hub. The second, dubbed “The Mangroves”, will be the project’s central island, arranged around a network of urban wetlands with a tower for meetings, conferences and events called the Bamboo Beacon. The final section, called “The Laguna”, will consist of eight smaller islands which will house the residents.
