Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is renown for taking on issues of urbanity and reframing them within an ‘eco-vision.’ His recent project ‘Asian Cairns’ takes aim at recurring mass rural exodus and unrestrained urbanization by proposing sustainable ‘farmscrapers’ that produce more energy than they consume via food production, wind harnessing and solar power.

OMA to Design ‘Essence Financial Tower’ in Shenzhen
Rem Koolhaas’ OMA has won a competition to design a financial office tower in Shenzhen, China, the firm’s second building in the city after the soon-to-complete Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Located in the city’s business district, the 180-metre ‘Essence Financial Building’ will be cut into two by a large outdoor terrace that will slice horizontally though the facade to open up a view of the nearby Shenzhen Golf Club. Circulation routes will be sidelined to the edge of the floorplates, creating flexible office plans that can be adapted to suit different layouts and alternative uses.

The Hongqiao Vantone SunnyWorld Centre by Foster + Partners, a major new sustainable masterplan for a prominent site at the heart of the Shanghai Hongqiao CBD, has broken ground – the project forms part of a large-scale urban plan, extending from Shanghai’s main station.

OMA‘s largest project ever, the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, is now complete. Rem Koolhaas’ folded tower reinvents the skyscraper and combines China Central Television’s entire production and offices into one multi-purpose facility. Construction on the CCTV headquarters began back in 2004, but caught fire in 2009 causing a major setback in the construction.
“The new headquarters for China Central Television, OMA’s largest project to date, combines the entire process of TV-making – administration, production, broadcasting – into a single loop of interconnected activity. Rising from a common platform accommodating production facilities, two towers – one dedicated to broadcasting, one to services, research, and education – lean towards each other and eventually merge in a 75-metre cantilever.
