Cung có nhiều không gian chức năng như phòng trưng bày truyền thống, hội thảo, hội trường, khu làm việc, giao tiếp, căng tin... đảm bảo chỗ làm việc cho khoảng 1.500 người.
This conceptual tower for Taiwan by Romanian firms upgrade.studio, DSBA and Mihai Carciun in the USA would feature observation decks floating up and down each side on helium balloons.
Called Floating Observatories, the design is the winner of the Taiwan Tower Conceptual International Competition and would incorporate a museum, information centre, offices, conference centre and restaurant.
The protruding pods would accommodate 50-80 people and glide up and down the tower controlled by a magnetic field.
The following details are from DSBA:
Taiwan Tower Conceptual International Competition
“FLOATING OBSERVATORIES” Proposal by Dorin STEFAN’s DSBA, Mihai CARCIUN and upgrade.studio wins the “Taiwan Tower” Conceptual International Competition
“Starting from the ‘geographical’ visual of Taiwan ‐ which is an island resembling a leaf ‐ we have developed the concept of the technological tree: we have designed 8 spatial leaves (with eight being a propitious number in the local culture) in the form of zeppelin‐like elevators which glide up and down the ‘tree trunk” and which serve the purpose of observation decks / belvedere.
I have called these elevators floating observatories because each has a nacelle which can take 50 to 80 people; they are self‐sustained by helium balloons and are built from lightweight materials (borrowed from the spacecraft industry) and are wrapped in a last‐generation type of membrane (PTFE) and they glide vertically on a track positioned vertically in a strong electro‐magnetic field” ‐ Dorin STEFAN, Principal, DSBA*
The tower layers underground and ground level spaces as well as in its vertical reach, the functions required by the conceptual theme: information center, museum, office and conference space, restaurants, fixed observation desks.
Apart from the fact that we aim to design a tower whose silhouetted out of line echoes the local symbolism and has great impact in terms of visual identity, our solution is at the same time a model of green architecture:
- minimum footprint at land level; - maximum green area surface; – all circulations are vertically integrated (main and secondary functions for both services and tourists);
- the „chimney” effect is used for the natural ventilation of various functional areas;
- the office and services areas in the tower have a 360° orientation, which offers the possibility to minimize the green‐house effect through the use of cross‐ventilation; - the electrical energy is produced by: a system of axial turbines located along the vertical central core; adjustable photovoltaic panels on the whole height of the tower
- the lighting of the basement areas and of the museum spaces under the sandwich slab (structure‐plants earth‐pedestrian traffic) is done through a fiber optics dome system;
- heating of the floating observatories are done through an electromagnetic field using the electrical power created by the new generation membrane which wraps the helium tanks and captures through photovoltaic transmission;
- the rain water is collected from all platforms into a tank situated in the basement; there is a purification station near the rain water tank so that water can be reused for: washing; irrigation of the green areas; running water for toilets;
- there is a geothermal power station in the basement for the warming of the areas in cold season and for hot water;
“Even though the floating observatories design was influenced by the sci‐fi computer gaming culture they are feasible and play a major role for the pathway of the tower’s museum by adding a new vertical dimension. Seen from above, the city itself becomes the key exhibit for the Museum of Taichung City Development.
Seen from inside the museum, when they are nested, the floating observatories become themselves exhibits, fascinating proof of the present technological achievements.”‐ Bogdan CHIPARA, DSBA Architect
“We have been previously engaged in a series of experimental collaborations with Dorin STEFAN (also our former teacher) which is why, by the time of this competition, we had already developed a versatile and challenging way of approaching the design task. This made the path from the strong initial idea to the final proposal a rather smooth flow, which is a rare thing to be able to say about an international competition’s development.” ‐ Claudiu BARSAN‐PIPU & Oana Maria NITUICA (upgrade.studio**)

TaiChung Convention Center
Beijng architects MAD have designed a convention centre for Taichung, Taiwan.
Here are some more details from Mad:
–
TAICHUNG
CONVENTION CENTER
2009
Beijing based MAD Architects has recently completed the design for the Taichung Convention Center, its first project in Taiwan commissioned by the Taiwanese government.
Taichung requires a metropolitan landmark that can go beyond the local to renew urban life and redefine the cultural landscape of the city, launching Taichung into the arena of world class cultural cites.
This requires unique architectural concepts and a new kind of architectural philosophy.
No longer characterized by mere considerations of height or visual impact, landmark buildings must first and foremost foster public recreation and inspire communication and imagination, redefining our relationship to culture and nature.
This project is conceived as a continuous weave of architecture and landscape, a futuristic vision based on a naturalistic spirit. The design inherits Chinese architecture’s long-standing attitude towards holistic integration and order of space, employing the essence of the East’s philosophy of a harmonized cycle between human and nature.

In the face of the project’s enormous scale, the architecture no longer exists as a series of individual blocks, but instead is rendered as a collective form.
The resultant spaces come into focus in a natural order emerging from air, wind and light, fostering a resonance between human and nature.
The site and the program of this project are inherently high-energy. The ‘mountains’ provide a calming and unifying skin, and yet, under its calm surface, there are topological potentials waiting to be discovered.

On the one hand, the architecture’s crater-shaped formation and resulting rotundas are the outcome of found site conditions.
On the other, it simultaneously shapes and influences the surrounding environment, opening up a dialogue between architecture and landscape.

The surface of the ‘mountains’ is a high-tech, eco-friendly pleated skin system. The smocking-like envelope provides air flow to the building while keeping energy consumption at a minimum by utilizing solar energy.
The open courtyards that connect the individual mountains are integrated into a natural sequence of outdoor spaces.

Like the quest for a harmonic coexistence between people and nature exemplified by Forbidden City and ancient Chinese gardens, this project seeks greater meaning in its non-material qualities, spaces encircled with the upmost naturalistic spirit.
Henn StudioB, the Berlin design and research studio of Henn Architekten, have won a competition to design a new business district in Wenzhou, China.
The Central Business District is located where the Ou Jiang river meets the East China Sea
New Central Business District, Wenzhou
Wenzhou lies within a mountainous region of Zhejiang Province where the Ou Jiang River meets the East China Sea. The traditional trading town opened to foreign trade in 1876 and as an international port is one of today’s key production locations for the consumer goods industry in China. The centrepiece of the future Central Business District comprises offices, a five-star hotel, commercial space and a public park.
Sydneysiders will get a sneak peak at the "look of the future" at Provocation - an exhibition of state-of-the-art and revolutionary designs by the University of Technology, Sydney's newest architecture graduates.
The Mardan Palace Hotel is billed as Europe's most expensive hotel. It cost roughly $1.4 billion to build, and Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere and Paris Hilton all attended its opening, according to Luxury Travel Advisor. A stay at this hotel on the Turkish Riviera could run you up to $18,000 per night, the Daily Mail reported." alt="
En novembre 2008, le mythique Queen Elizabeth 2, en service depuis 1967, partira une dernière fois de Southampton pour rejoindre définitivement Dubai. Une marina est en construction sur l'île Palm Jumeirah. Le bateau sera aménagé en attraction touristique et visitable à partir de 2011
