Our first cultural institution in New York is a new addition to the New Museum next door to its iconic SANAA-designed building at 235 Bowery. The New Museum has been growing in visitors, exhibitions, and activities. Its diverse engagements, including its expansive education programs, its cultural incubator NEW INC, and, of course, its globally recognized exhibition program have been transforming the institution into a cultural laboratory. We were asked to add a new building that provides much-needed space for its expanded activities and simultaneously reflects increasingly public ambitions—duplicating the program and square footage on a site immediately adjacent to the existing SANAA-designed building—part and counterpart, side-by-side.

Three Service Pavilions of Guiwan Park / hang cheng studio

March 20, 2026 Pilar Caballero 0

This project is located within Guiwan Park in Qianhai New District, Shenzhen, comprising 3 of the park’s 6 service buildings. The urban design of Qianhai New District originates from the winning Qianhai Water City masterplan by Field Operations in 2010. As the first water corridor park delivered under this masterplan, Guiwan Park stands as the core public open space of Qianhai. The hcs design team participated in the full landscape planning process of Guiwan Park, with deep involvement in the early site selection and functional positioning of the buildings, treating architecture as an organic component of the park’s masterplan. The project took six years from initial strategy to completion, with the design evolving from form-first to function-driven, and finally to a moderately diversified approach. At its core, the project explores the interdependent and symbiotic relationship between architecture and landscape, embodying the essence of spatial practice through dynamic dialogue with the site context.

House in Tamba / MIDW

The site lies in a small mountain town. Along its northern edge, a natural slope carved out during land development remains exposed, now overgrown with wild vegetation and supporting a modest ecosystem. Subtle shifts in the site’s topography suggest a faint continuity with the distant fields and village landscape. Using this relationship with the ground as a point of departure, the building volume is arranged to embrace a triangular garden set against the slope.

Witoca Laboratory / Al Borde

Facing the options of urbanizing the jungle, deforestation for monoculture, or creating intangible protection zones, there is another option: the chakra. The chakra is a Kichwa concept and, above all, a model of ancestral agroecology based on high biodiversity. This model of land use and management achieves the double goal of conserving the ecosystem while simultaneously producing within it. This strategic approach is the one adopted by Witoca to drive social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The project is located in the community of Huaticocha, in the buffer zone of the Sumaco Biosphere Reserve, in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

School Complex of the Olive Tree / GGR architectes

March 19, 2026 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The Pechbonnieu school complex was originally intended to be the rehabilitation and extension of an existing schooling facility. However, an in-depth analysis of the social cost of carbon, conducted during the competition phase, led the project team to propose an entirely new construction while remaining within budget. The existing school building lacked the capacity for sustainable transformation; its demolition would free up land and allow for a reimagined urban future. The creation of the school on the site enables broader development scenarios for the town, while the unification of primary and nursery levels offers the opportunity for children to grow and learn together from an early age.
