MoederscheimMoonen Architects will design a new residential building in the centre of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The starting point for the design was to preserve the iconic existing architecture of the current office buildings as much as possible. This turned out to be challenging but also guided the design towards the end result of a wonderfully dynamic winning design. The building will have a mix of different apartment types and commercial functions, with the outdoor space in the form of generous balconies giving the residents a spectacular experience of the city centre. >>>

Gwanghwamun Square in front of Gyeongbokgung is the historic square of Republic of Korea and a citizen square which represents democracy. It is proposed a new square that adapts to diverse occupancies and flows creating the possibility to flood large portions of the square during the weekdays when occupancies are low. The flooded areas act as reflected sceneries and reduce the walkable area rising the density of visitors which in return gives a more lively feeling even during the weekdays. The square dries as more space is needed. >>>
