Eerdos museum, china - by MAD architects

Posted by Pereka:Designer / at 16:44 / Labels: Architecture / 0 comments

Erdos museum by chinese MAD architects is located in the new city centre of erdos. driven by a booming economy, the municipal government of erdos are determined to create this new city,dozens of kilometers away from the current city, on a site that until recently was nothing but the gobi desert. the urban masterplan drew a symbolic but empty image of the ever rising sun on the grassland: a rigid and precise series of urban landscapes radiating from a central plaza, and symbolizing the sun. this ordered plan fulfilled the wishes of the government, but shows no real consideration for the people who live in the city.

The museum has been conceived as a reaction to this city plan. it takes the form of a natural, irregular nucleus to contrast with the strict geometry of the masterplan. the structure is wrapped in polished metal louvers, to reflect and dissolve the planned surroundings. this shell will enclose a new interior,totally separate from the urban reality.

Construction has begun on the Shard, a skyscraper that will be the tallest building in Western Europe and will provide amazing views of London. Designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop (who was also responsible for the California Academy of Sciences), the Shard was inspired by towering church spires and the masts of ships that once anchored on the Thames. The new mixed-use development is located in the heart of London Bridge Quarter and will sit adjacent to the London Bridge Station, one of the busiest train stations in London.
