Culture Center, Akureyri, Iceland, 2010 designed by Arkitema Architects
Its significance as a social linchpin is reflected partly in the building’s circular form, and partly in the public pedestrian street which cuts through the building. The arts centre is anchored in Icelandic nature: externally, the building is clad with rods and bars of a special variety of Icelandic granite called Studlaberg. The robust facade presents an organic rhythm, with high narrow windows positioned according to the daylight needs of the various functions. -- ArchDaily

Palace of Schoolchildren, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly Avenue, Astana, Kazakhstan, 2011 designed by Studio 44 Architects
The Shangyrak is a wooden crown doming a Kasakh yurt with a central
opening over the fireplace. In our project, this sacral element of a
Kazakh traditional dwelling is reinterpreted as a cylinder 8 m in height
and 156 m in diameter. The giant disc has openings and skylights
providing natural light inside the building, into a central atrium
space. It covers stepped compositions of rectangular “boxes” each
containing a functional element – skating rink, museum, shooting
gallery, theater, etc. -- ArchDaily

Ecco’s Hotel, Ecco Alleen 4, Tonder, Denmark, 2013 designed by Studio DISSING+WEITLING Architecture
The design of the building is optimised in every way, not only through
the use of geothermal heating/cooling and solar energy but also the
circular shape of the floor plan itself which makes for the best
utilisation of the available space, short distances within the building
and minimum heat loss on account of the reduced surface area. --

Borden Park Pavilion, Edmonton, AB, Canada, 2014 designed by gh3
The building recalls the iconic geometry of classical parks and
pavilions, given the surrounding curving paths and loose axial
relationships, typical of traditional English school of landscaping. --
