At the edge of Chaoyang Garden, the Beijing Central Park (China), the Sino-US agency MAD Architects delivers a titanic project of 220 000 square meters of floor, including offices, shops and luxury housing. Figurehead of the realization: two incredible black towers of 120 meters high with rippling and prominent edges. A new emblem for the capital.

Designed by the Danish architect CF Møller in 2016, the forecourt of the Mærsk Tower of the University of Copenhagen is adorned with greenery thanks to the intervention of the local planning and landscaping agency SLA. The project is divided into two parts: the construction of a large park, the SUND, at the foot of the tower and the greening of the flat roofs of the building at the bottom. A landscaping project that earned its designers to receive the Scandinavian Green Roof Award.

As part of the construction of the ZAC Clichy-Batignolles in Paris (17th arrondissement), the architectural firms ChartierDalix and Brenac & Gonzalez et Associés have hand in hand designed a 24 square meter office building on Lot 000. An achievement highlighting the railway tracks facing it and which vibrate to the rhythm of the sky and the activity of the employees who give life to its passageways.

In the business center of the effervescent megalopolis of Guadalajara (Mexico), has set up a surprising office tower, Las Américas 1500. The Mexican studio Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos, delivers here a totemic building thanks to the offset of four impressive parallelepipedic volumes, accentuated by the zebra lines of their facades.

Between two railway tracks in the Chinese capital, stands an ensemble of various volumes and styles, produced by Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects. The programs it hosts reflect its allure: plural. At the same time incubator of start-ups, hotel and commercial space, the Beijing Cidi Memo iTown shakes up the codes of tertiary spaces with strength and elegance.

Located in Naucalpan, in the suburbs of Mexico City (Mexico), an impressive shopping complex of nearly 475 square meters, brings together multiple uses and activities under one roof. Both a place of traffic and an urban park, this set created by the Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos agency attempts to compensate for the lack of meeting places in the megalopolis.

Renovated by the Portuguese architecture agency éOp, the social center São Pedro de Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal) is intended for the reception of the local community.

After Châtenay-Malabry (92), the École Centrale Paris moved to Gif-sur-Yvette (91), on the Saclay plateau, under a brand new envelope designed by the Dutch agency OMA.

Established since 2003 in the city of Saint-Ouen (93), the global design agency Saguez & Partners sets down its suitcases in the Docks district, more precisely in the former Alstom hall which it is rehabilitating as a Manufacture Design, combining of work, reflection, relaxation and creativity.
