The two towers are positioned at the entrance of the Yongsan Dreamhub roject, a master plan designed by Studio Libeskind, extending the business district of the South Korean capital Seoul. The southern tower reaches a height of 260 meters with 54 floors, the northern tower 300 meters with 60 floors. Halfway, at the level of the 27th floor the cloud, a 10 floor tall pixelated volume is positioned, connecting the two towers. The cloud differentiates the project from other luxury developments, it moves the plinth upwards and makes space on ground floor level for public gardens, designed by Martha Schwartz.
Usually a high-rise adds little to the immediate surrounding city life, by integrating public program to the cloud the typology adds in a more social way to the city. Inside the cloud, besides the residential function, 14,357m2 of amenities are located: the sky lounge - a large connecting atrium, a wellness centre, conference centre, fitness studio, various pools, restaurants and cafes. On top of the cloud are a series of public and private outside spaces, patios, decks, gardens and pools. Minder weergeven

1st prize competition. MVRDV's designs for a hotel and an office tower contribute to a positive legacy for the World Expo 2010 site in Shanghai. The tower becomes a symbol for the area, and is placed at the entrance to the main axis of the site. It is twisted to maximise views. The hotel will work together with the World Expo Centre next to it, and is designed to create an interior garden, with meeting and conference rooms on on top, also to maximise views.

The new headquarters building for Guosen Securities in Shenzhen, is a new symbol for a dynamic and growing corporation. Fundamentally, the tower had to be energy efficient and a high quality working environment. In an effort to maximise views and direct daylight for every worker, a compact floor plan was chosen, with no workplace more than 11 meters from the façade. Stacking these floors lead to a square tower over 200 meters tall with an elegant, slender form.

The Library building has a gross floor area of 52.500 square meters and is situated at the Tukay square on the South-Eastern edge of the city centre. It is designed as a covered extension of the city centre. A multi-functional, 18 metre-high atrium serves as a portal between the library and the city and turns the building into part of the public domain, a place where the collective and cultural qualities of downtown spaces are combined. The entrance space can be meeting point, boulevard, gallery, living room, garden and educational facility at the same time. Embedded into a hill, the building continues the shape of the landscape and offers a park on top of the building. By linking the existing Hermitage Park, the new library park and the National Library to the adjacent Tukay square, this area transforms into a vibrant hub of Kazan city life. Minder weergeven

The Paris Tribune is an attempt to balance the introverted, private functions of university research facilities, with the public, extroverted environment of a university campus. Its terraces create a truly public environment, while its podium provides a public space on a scale not built in Paris for centuries. The building’s form responds to various pressures for light, space, and programmatic functions in a practical way, hoping to become iconic not through form, but as a platform for use.
