The Outdoor axis[rendered in yellow] that breaks the solidity of the facade is really what makes the building different from existing ones. There are plenty of buildings with nice concepts or beehive-like structures, but what is outstanding about this building is the integration of indoor and outdoor, playing with the intrusion or extrusion of each module, and the smart diagonal axis of outdoor space on the facade that invites the viewer to the building.

Where can the first and second place designs be viewed?

Nice looking building, I enjoy the reference to creating the building similar to how the UN operates and functions, nice metaphor. Hope the building turns out how it is planned. The open stairway and roof could cause problems but hopefully not. Environmentally friendly building it also probably makes for interesting social interaction.

Unbelievable looking.
Interesting concept on the relation to how the UN operates and functions.
Hopefully the open staircase and open rooftop don’t cause problems.
Very aesthetically pleasing.

not even, just hexagons–two, maybe three angles–pretty certain this was all hand-CAD. Looks like a bad riff on HdeM’s “zen space” but ambiguous about whether it wants to be a cladding/facade system or a volumetric (cellular) system.

Inspired by cells? Gimme a break. They’ve finally discovered a voronoi script and ran wild with it.

It is indeed a nice idea of aggregation of spaces growing from the central void. The transitions inside the building look pretty amazing. I would like to stay in that public area in the middle looking to the top. Cool project!
