eric owen moss architects develop a building for the vienna university of economics and businesss new campus

japanese architectural firm atelier hitoshi abe have been announced the winner of the new campus of the vienna university of economics and business competition (WU).

enclosed with a pleated stainless steel facade, this contemporary structure immersed within the traditional brick gothic campus is nearing completion in east lansing, michigan.

the main idea behind the design draws on the power of erosion and the movement of water, which is depicted by the undulating forms found both inside and outside.

designboom visited the construction site for this undulating and interconnected office, retail and entertainment complex in beijing, china.

this library in the coastal town of taltal, chile forms a cultural network by linking to the historical theater while creating a variety of internal reading atmospheres with diverse roof and ceiling heights.

the undulating exterior of this public library opens towards the sky similar to a blossoming rose, revealing a central garden.

a facade clad with locally sourced sticks creates a screen for the fully glazed interior, producing an evenly diffused natural daylight to brightly illuminate the reading spaces.
