Can a building zig?
A border crossing is the first thing you encounter in a country, and the last thing you see as you leave. Georgia has built what must be the most interesting border crossing in the world, which is no surprise—since it was reborn as an independent democratic country in 1991, Georgia has been using architecture to rebrand its image to the world. Cantilevered platforms allow for viewing of the rugged landscape, and a cafeteria, conference room, and staff facilities are arranged to create a composition that promises wonderful discoveries in the
country beyond.
The gateway to a country should entice and inspire visitors.

Can architecture swirl?
An inflatable and mobile concert hall made of a stretchy plastic membrane brings both art and hope to earthquake-devastated Japan. The five-hundred seat venue can inflate in under two hours and, when deflated, can move to a new location on the back of a truck.
The line between art and architecture can be a curvy one.

Can architecture be from outer space?
The quickly growing city of Dalian asked architects to create a functioning conference and opera center, but also a visual landmark for the city—something that could become an icon for the local community and excite an international audience. The result is almost entirely self-referential, as if an alien ship landed on the banks of Dalian’s port. The building doesn’t look to context for its
reference, it looks to the future. It’s a hopeful symbol of what the city will become: a place activated by visitors, commerce, and culture.
Architecture doesn’t predict the future, it creates the future.

Can architecture swoop?
The Soviet Union was well known for its imposing and rigidly monumental architecture. When Azerbaijanis looked to create a new cultural center in their capital, they made an extreme departure from precedent. The building rises out
of the landscape in a series of undulating curves to enclose over 57,000 square meters of space. The design represents the fluid relationship between the city
and what happens inside the cultural center.
Architecture can create new landscapes.
