Formosa 1140, West Hollywood, California, USA, 2008 designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects
External circulation is used as a buffer between public and private realms and articulated through layers of perforated metal and small openings.
The careful placement of outer skin panels and inner skin fenestration creates a choreographed effect, both revealing and concealing, while achieving a unique expression of form and materials. The exterior skin also keeps west facing units cooler by acting as a screen and shading device. -- ArchDaily

Yound Disabled Moduls And Workshop Pavillions, Camino del Abejar, Zaragoza, Spain, 2011 designed by g.bang architecture
The roof, for the most part, saw tooth shape, with variable slopes – very steep at some points – reflects, from the outside, the degree of internal mental activity in relation to the type of rooms they occupy: the resting or sleeping area with a slope of 60%, common areas or with maximum activity have outstanding peak of 240%. The treatment of the spaces occupied by the medical staff and caregivers has been dealt with flat roofs. -- ArchDaily

Museum MUMAC, Milan, Italy, 2012 designed by Arkispazio

Red Building, West Hollywood, California,USA designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects
Located on a 14-acre site, the buildings are organized around an outdoor plaza. The Red Building is the most dynamic of the composition which already includes the six-story Blue Building that houses showrooms and office space, and the nine-story Green Building which contains a film theater and conference center. The new addition alters the site, creating a more defined public outdoor space. While the glass of the earlier buildings was opaque, the façade of the Red Building includes both transparent and fritted glass. To create a taut, all-glass appearance, the red glass is held in its aluminum frames with silicone. -- ArchDaily

Pago de Carraovejas Winery, Peñafiel, Spain designed by Estudio Amas4arquitectura
A homogeneous finishing, concrete coloured in red-wine, unifies different uses and gives some warmth both inside and outside. A Bayer pigment was added to a prescribed concrete mix at a rate of 2%, a percentage given by the manufacturer after some research. Mixing water was purified by osmosis in order to avoid efflorescences. Another important detail was using concrete dobies coloured in the same tone so no marks were left after removing formworks. -- ArchDaily

House of the Arts, Miranda do Corvo, Portugal, 2013 designed by Future Architecture Thinking
The building features a contemporary and volumetrically expressive language. The sloping roofs establish a dialogue with the geometry of the mountain landscape, in an analogy to the village rooftops. The dynamism achieved through the continuity between façades and roof is accented by a strong red colour, emphasizing its design and highlighting the building through the surrounding landscaped area vegetation. -- ArchDaily

Constell.ation, Lisbon, Portugal, 2013 designed by LIKEarchitects
Portuguese studio LIKEarchitects designed an ephemeral lighting installation for the gardens of the Presidential Portuguese Republic Residence. Materialized by a network of contiguous arches in red corrugated tube, illuminated by a LED lighting system, Conste.llation delicately dances on the gardens, connecting spaces and crafting unexpected routes. The arch – a primordial element in architecture – has the inherent power to create space (under, inside, etc.), and, at the same time, to build a physical relation between two places (between, inside, etc.) being related also to the idea of connection and unification. -- ArchDaily

Facing towards Toulon and the Bay of Vignettes, one of the largest in Europe, the Redline is set slightly back from the future Autumn Garden located on the site of the former shipyards. It comprises three separate parts with its base, a forged and sculpted mass of concrete, onto which two wings have been erected. -- ArchDaily
