Universaide Sport Center by GMP _1

Universaide Sport Center located in Shenzhen, China. This amazing building was designed by GMP Architects. Below is the description from the architect, about the Universaide Sport Center:
“The overall complex is laid out as an extensive landscaped park with typical elements of a traditional Chinese garden. Watercourses and plants symbolize movement and development, while crystalline structures in the form of stones and rocks represent continuity and stability. The dialogue between the fluid landscape shapes and the expressive architecture of the stadia constitutes the conceptual framework of the design. The crystalline shape of the three stadia is additionally emphasized by the illumination of the translucent facades at night.” [gmp-architekten.de]

Tex-Tonic House in London _1

Tex-Tonic House is a two-story penthouse apartment. Located in Victoria, London, well designed by Paul McAneary Architects Ltd. Below is a little description from the architects about this Tex-Tonic House:
“The overall architectural language is modest and dramatic at the same time: mixed timber tectonics have been applied with an emphasis on their texture and intrinsic beauty. The amount of ‘vertical natural light’ flooding through the large skylights, walk on glass and the horizontal curtain walling maximize the exquisite effect of the natural grain and pattern of the timber ceiling, oak beams and floor as well as the bronze ‘timber texture’.”
