Dream Downtown Hotel by Handel Architects

American firm Handel Architects have completed a New York hotel with porthole windows that give it an uncanny resemblance to children’s game Connect Four.Comprising one seven-storey block adjoined to another that is twelve storeys high, the Dream Downtown Hotel occupies a renovated former annex of the National Maritime Union of America.Overlapping layers of perforated metal clad the smaller of the two blocks, where the circular openings create juliet balconies for the guest rooms behind.

Extrusion by Philippe Malouin

Hackney designer philippe malouin worked with traditional craftsmen from Beirut to create a series of bowls and plinths by shaping wooden blocks made of many smaller, tessellating batons. Commissioned by Crawan Gallery,  his Extrusion project combines the techniques used to make decorative wooden inlays with those of a lathe-worker.

I like the pattern on the top of the bowl that the wooden strips have formed, it is very tactile as it looks so smooth.

Cross Towers by BIG

Proposal for a towering apartment block for Seoul that will be shaped like a hashtag. The 21 000 m2 site is positioned next to the existing urban fabric in the future development zones of the Yongsan master plan. BIG’s design includes two elegant towers with a height of 214 and 204m. To meet the height requirements of the site, the exceeding building mass is transformed into an upper and lower horizontal bar, which bridge the two towers at 140m and 70 m height. The two towers are additionally connected through the arrival bar at the ground level – and a courtyard below ground.

Huski Apartments / Elenberg Fraser

The design for Huski originated from the study of snowflake geometry. The pure yet complex patterns combined with the influence of Australian timber alpine huts and international alpine resorts provided the basis for the resulting architectural form.

Blackpool Tower glass floor

Toughened Glass floor which allows people to walk over it to see the surrounding area of the tower and emphasises a feeling of weightlessness.

Cor ten

Otherwise known as Weathering Steel this is a group of  steel alloys which form a stable rust like appearance if exposed to the weather. Although you would think rust isn't an appealing color or texture, it somehow looks good when used in contemporary buildings such as the images below.
