BIG extends audemars piguet HQ with spiraling landform in switzerland

for an extension to its historic headquarters in le brassus, switzerland, luxury watchmaker audemars piguet has commissioned a design team lead by BIG, with collaboration from HG merz, luchinger & meyer, and müller illien. the 2,400 sqm museum addition, called ‘la maison des fondateurs’ (the home of the founders), is composed as a spiraling and interweaving building form which blends with the landscape. its arrangement is based on a linear sequence of experiences which present a story to visitors. serving as a new attraction to the overall complex, the coiling pavilion properly represents the brand by blending its historic legacy with its independent and avant-garde spirit.

hankook technodome by foster + partners breaks ground in korea

a research and development center for hankook tire has broken ground in daejeon, korea – home to a growing number of asia’s large technology and engineering corporations. designed by foster + partners, the ‘honkook technodome’ will comprise highly developed laboratories and offices alongside integrated social spaces designed to nurture a culture of collaboration and innovation. instead of the conventional arrangement of offices placed above double-height testing areas, the building is arranged as five fingers, comprising parallel work stations and industrial units. responding to a thorough analysis of the organization, the dynamic and versatile positioning promotes visual and physical interaction between laboratories and departments.

These presidential libraries are getting trite. How about something more imaginative?

Yacht Club de Monaco, Monaco

Foster + Partners-designed Yacht Club de Monaco enjoys official opening celebrations

The Foster + Partners-designed Yacht Club de Monaco has opened to much fanfare, attended by HSH Prince Albert II, Lord Norman Foster and the wider design team. The club’s members were also welcomed to the new facility which takes its inspiration from traditional sailing vessels and integrates sustainable design principles throughout.

Referred to by the practice as ‘a celebration of sailing’, the Yacht Club de Monaco rises on the waterfront through a series of terraces that resemble decks, offering far-reaching views out to sea and inland to the nearby Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. Lord Foster said: “The building is a little like a city in microcosm, with schools, parks, offices, restaurants, a network of interior circulation ‘streets’ and a hierarchy of public and private, social and functional spaces.

“It is a continuation of Monaco’s dense urban fabric, as well as the Yacht Club’s traditions and will be an important part of civic life. Every child in Monaco learns sailing at some stage during their education and those lessons will be in the new building - as a result, the Yacht Club will become even more rooted, in a public sense, in the Principality and part of its cultural and urban fabric.”

Winnipeg’s biodome garden looks to make a tropical splash in a city defined by winter
In Assiniboine Park, the lush Canada’s Diversity Gardens could help bring the world to a city on the grow, Roy MacGregor writes

The main attraction, The Leaf, is to be constructed using ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene), a plastic-like material that is translucent and extremely lightweight yet strong. It is also resistant to wild fluctuations of temperature. Staff travelled to Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, to examine a mall constructed with ETFE and came away convinced it was perfect for their purposes.

“How do you build a tropical garden in Winnipeg, where it goes down to -35 Celsius?” asks Mitchell Hall, principal architect at KPMB.

Using this revolutionary building material, says Mr. Hall, “was a real breakthrough for us.” The challenge was how to heat the substantial volume of air in the largest biodome in the dead of winter and also cool it in summer. Using a combination of sunlight, geothermal heating and earth tubes (underground pipes through which warm or cold air is drawn), KPMB is convinced it can be done in a sustainable way....

The thread title should probably be changed to "Contemporary Architecture".
Seriously half of the posts on this entire thread wouldn't fall under the actual definition of "Modern Architecture". Just because it looks trendy, hip, and new doesn't make it part of the Modern movement.
