Another iconic building is going to be built in Malaysia. This is not surprising, since they do have two of the tallest buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers. The design of Precinct4 is very unique, based on traditional Islamic architecture, marine-inspired structures, and radiating block of bioclimatic architecture.

The architect’s goal (Hijjas Kasturi Associates, Malaysian architects) was to design buildings that tell “of its place of origin which is culturally modern, Islamic and tropical in nature.

” While the designers goal (Studio Nicoletti Associati) was to provide a model for sustainable residential design that was inspired by the city’s unique landscape which includes an expansive artificial lake. The biggest inspiration came from the sea and the entire development resembles a fleet of ships.

It is also said that the buildings will source from alternative energy and are expected to produce 50% less CO2 emissions than similar residential projects.

برج میلاد

برج میلاد ۴۳۵ متری چهارمین برج مخابراتی دنیاست و قرار گرفتن در این مرتبه حساسیت و توجه به اتمام کار آن را صد چندان می کند. سال ۱۳۷۰ وقتی بنا شد برجی بلند به عنوان نماد جدید شهر تهران با کاربری های مخابراتی و گردشگری در این شهر احداث شود حدود دو سال برای انتخاب مکان مناسب برای انجام این پروژه از میان ۱۷ مکان مورد نظر توسط تیمی از کارشناسان زمان سپری شد.

کارشناسان به بررسی گزینه های مختلف پرداختند و نهایتا تپه های گیشا برای این منظور انتخاب شد. کلنگ احداث برج میلاد در سال ۷۶ به زمین خورد و حالا در آغاز نیمه دوم سال ۸۷ در آستانه افتتاح فاز اول پروژه ای قرار داریم که به همت جمع زیادی از کارکنان پر تلاش این پروژه به نمادی از توانمندی مهندسان ایرانی تبدیل شده است.

یک گروه کارشناسی‌، برخی مقادیر‌، اوزان و مواد به کار رفته در احداث برج میلاد را به مقیاس‌هایی ملموس تبدیل کرده است. به گزارش خبرگزاری فارس، ارتفاع کل برج ‌ ۴۳۵ متر و معادل ۵/۱ برابر ارتفاع برج ایفل در فرانسه است‌. وزن برج میلاد ‌ ۱۶۱ هزار تن است و زیربنای آن به اندازه ۵/۵ زمین فوتبال است. ارتفاع‌ ۳۱۵ متری شفت بتنی برج نیز برابر با ارتفاع یک ساختمان ۱۰۵ طبقه است و دکل آنتن برج میلاد نیز با ۱۲۰ متر طول‌، معادل ارتفاع یک ساختمان ۴۰ طبقه است. وزن کل سازه ۱۶۱ هزار تن و معادل وزن ۳ هزار و ۵۷۸ تانک است‌. لابی برج نیز با زیر بنای ۱۵ هزار مترمربع معادل ۳ زمین فوتبال و زیر بنای ۱۲ هزار متر مربعی رأس سازه نیز برابر با ‌ ۵/۲ زمین فوتبال است. ۲۳۰ کیلومتر کابل در احداث برج به کار رفته که طول آن معادل مسافت تهران ـ شمال است‌. ۲۵ کیلومتر نیز متراژ لوله مصرفی در برج میلاد است که چیزی مساوی با ۵/۴ برابر ارتفاع قله دماوند محاسبه شده است. ۲ برابر محیط کره زمین نیز مقیاس به دست آمده برای ۸۰ هزار کیلومتر مسافت طی شده با آسانسورهای کارگاهی برج میلاد است. ۹ هزار چراغ و ۱۰۰ هزار پیچ نیز از دیگر مواد مصرفی در ساخت برج میلاد است که با یک میلیون و ۳۰۰ هزار نفر روز در این پروژه به کار رفته است. همچنین میانگین سنی مهندسان پروژه برج میلاد ۳۱ سال عنوان شده است و ۴۰ هزار نفر نیز از ابتدای زمان احداث تا‌کنون از این برج دیدن کرده‌اند.

Dutch architects MVRDV and Danish co-architects ADEPT have won a competition to design the Rødovre Skyscraper in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The 116 metre tall tower will include apartments, a hotel, retail, offices, and a public park and plaza.

The stacked building consists of “pixels”, each 60 metres square, which are arranged around the central core of the building.

“The constellation of the pixels allows flexibility in function; the building can be transformed by market forces,” say the architects. “Flexibility for adaptation is one of the best sustainable characteristics of a building.”

The following is from MVRDV:

MVRDV and ADEPT win Copenhagen high-rise competition with ‘Sky Village’ design

The municipality of Rødovre, an independent municipality of Copenhagen, Denmark, announced today MVRDV and co-architect ADEPT winner of the design competition of the Rødovre Skyscraper. The 116 meter tall tower accommodates apartments, a hotel, retail and offices. A public park and a plaza are also part of the privately funded scheme.

The new skyscraper with a total surface of 21,688m2 will be located at Roskildevej, a major artery East of the centre of Copenhagen. It is after the Frøsilos MVRDV’s second project in Copenhagen.

The skyscraper’s shape reflects Copenhagen’s historical spire and present day high-rise blending in the skyline of the city, it further combines the two distinctive typologies of Rødovre, the single family home and the skyscraper in a vertical village. Consideration of these local characteristics leads to Copenhagen’s first contemporary high-rise.

Responding to unstable markets the design is based on a flexible grid, allowing alteration of the program by re-designating units. These ‘pixels’ are each 60m2 square and arranged around the central core of the building, which for flexibility consists of three bundled cores allowing separate access to the different program segments.

On the lower floors the volume is slim to create space for the surrounding public plaza with retail and restaurants; the lower part of the high rise consists of offices, the middle part leans north in order to create a variety of sky gardens that are terraced along the south side. This creates a stacked neighbourhood, a Sky Village.

From this south orientation the apartments are benefitting. The top of the building will be occupied by a hotel enjoying the view towards Copenhagen city centre.

The constellation of the pixels allows flexibility in function; the building can be transformed by market forces, however at this moment it is foreseen to include 970m2 retail, 15,800m2 offices, 3,650m2 housing and 2,000m2 hotel and a basement of 13,600m2 containing parking and storage. Flexibility for adaptation is one of the best sustainable characteristics of a building. Besides this the Sky Village will also integrate the latest technologies according to the progressive Danish environmental standards.

Furthermore the plans include a greywater circuit, the use of 40% recycled concrete in the foundation and a variety of energy producing devices on the façade. A public park adjacent to the Sky Village is part of the project and will be refurbished with additional vegetation and the construction of a ‘superbench’, a meandering public path and bench. A playground, picnic area and exercise areas for elderly citizens are also part of the plan.

Lead architect MVRDV and co-architect ADEPT Architects won the competition from BIG, Behnisch and MAD. Winy Maas and Jacob van Rijs present the plan today in Copenhagen together with Anders Lonka and Martin Krogh from local office Adept Architects, Dutch engineering firm ABT and Søren Jenssen act as consultants for the project.

Earlier MVRDV realised the Frøsilos / Gemini Residence in the port of Copenhagen: a residential project marking a new way in refurbishment of old silo’s which was highly acclaimed and received international awards.

Architects Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser of Laboratory for Visionary Architecture Asia Pacific (LAVA) have unveiled Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower at the Cityscape property fair in Dubai.

The 59-storey tower, one of seven to be built around the world, has been built in collaboration with former Formula 1 champion Schumacher, and is described as “branded architecture’s next step”.

The following is from LAVA:

Future Living – Michael Schumacher Tower launched in Abu Dhabi

Today at Dubai cityscape, Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher presents the design for The Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower, the first in a series of seven towers to be built worldwide. A unique concept envisioned by Joachim Swensson, founder of branding specialists PNYG:COMPANY, the building represents branded architecture’s next step.

“The Tower marks a departure from traditional architectural thinking,” state the architects Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser. The tower designers represent a new generation of architects. Being responsible as associate architects for world recognised structures such as the Water cube in Beijing and the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Germany.

Just one year ago, they founded LAVA, the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture, a worldwide architectural network, together with architect Alexander Rieck, innovation expert at the Fraunhofer institute in Stuttgart.

“The project brings together our previous experiences, the Mercedes-Benz Museum, a brand-owned museum with an extraordinary spatial concept exploring the latest digital design and fabrication technologies with the Water cube Beijing, an example of the highest performance of both the building and the athletes, creating by a stunning atmosphere developed through the deliberate morphing of molecular science, architecture and phenomenology”, says Chris Bosse.

Inspired by the geometrical order of a snowflake and the aerodynamics of a Formula 1 racing car, the tower encapsulates speed, fluid dynamics, future technology and natural patterns of organisation. Rather than purely mimicking shapes in nature for their elegance and unpredictability, the architects learned from nature’s own geometrical orders creating highly efficient structures and intriguing spaces.

“We let the design unfold as a result of the project’s needs: optimal natural light and air distribution, maximum views, minimal structure, user comfort and an unrivalled water experience”, explains Tobias Wallisser. The organisational principle of a minimal surface allowed the optimisation of the facade/floor area ratio and each apartment in the 59 storey luxury tower has unobstructed ocean views.

“The unique collaboration with Michael Schumacher gave us new insights. Technology, precision, speed, elegance, paired with human intuition and extraordinary performance were a great source of inspiration for the design. Similar to the formula one operation, construction is a team sport with a lot of highly skilled experts. In this sense the architects take the driver seat in the process, taking the project to the physical limits of possibility”, adds Alexander Rieck.

The lower levels of the tower, traditionally the most difficult and least attractive area, has been reinterpreted as a series of prestigious wharf apartments, terraced similar to that of cruise ship decks. By widening the base, the tower is anchored into its surrounding water basin similar to the surrounding mangroves and nearby canals. The top Sky villas offer 270-degree views opposite the new cultural district on Saadyiat Island.

The building features an iconic silhouette and a facade characterised by vertical slots with private balconies. A series of reflective fins generates a vertical dynamic and gives the building a constantly changing appearance. The fins track the sun, control the solar shading and dissolve the rationality of the plan into a continuously evolving building volume. The facade’s continuous surface enables curvature with a lot of repetition and the potential for standardisation in the building process. State-of-theart engineering and innovative materials will be used to achieve a fully sustainable performance.
